He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 27.12.2024. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was not arrested from the spot. The Investigating Officer has planted a false recovery of 17 Android mobile phones upon the applicant as there is no independent witness of the alleged recovery.

Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out.
