Learned counsel next argued that in fact no recovery whatsoever has been made from the person of the applicant and that the alleged recovery is not supported by any independent witness. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court.

Per contra, learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserve any indulgence. 4. After perusing the record in the light of the submissions made at the bar and after taking an overall view of all the facts and circumstances of this case, the nature of evidence and also the absence of any convincing material to indicate the possibility of tampering with the evidence, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, this Court is of the view, that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 5.
