He further submits that however, apart from the present case, applicant is having criminal history of two other cases but his entire criminal history has been explained in the instant bail application and both the cases relate to minor offences and he is in jail in the present matter since 20.01.2025. 5. Per contra, learned AGA as well as learned counsel for the informant however opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the arguments on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant. 6. I have heard learned counsel for both the parties and perused the record of the case. 7. Considering the arguments on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant and the fact that it is a case of circumstantial evidence and similarly placed three co-accused Manju Devi, Subhash Kesharwani and Suraj Kesharwani have already been released on bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court and criminal history of two cases of the applicant has been explained in the instant bail application and he is in jail in the present matter since 20.01.2025, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 8. 8.
