Thereafter first supplementary charge sheet was filed against two persons namely Ramjan @ Bablu and Jeet Prasad and second supplementary charge sheet was filed against present applicant Ramjan Ali @ Balla for aforesaid offence. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that charge sheet has been filed against 07 accused persons. The applicant has been implicated only on the basis of memorandum statement and recovery of Rs.800/-. He further submits that 04 co-accused persons have already been granted bail by the Coordinate Bench and the applicant is in jail since 04.04.2023 and charge sheet has been filed and conclusion of the trial is likely to take considerable time, hence, present applicant may be enlarged on bail. 4. Learned counsel for the State while opposing the bail application would submit that in the test identification parade, the applicant has been identified by the complainant. She further submits that there are 06 criminal antecedents reported against the applicant, hence, his bail application may be rejected. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary of the case with utmost circumspection. 6. In the instant case, the applicant has been implicated only on the basis of alleged memorandum statement and recovery of Rs.800/-. In the present case, there are 07 accused persons, out of which, 05 of them have been granted bail. FIR was lodged against unknown persons. Though the complainant has identified the applicant in the TI parade, but recovery of only 3 Rs.800/- has been made from the applicant. Charge sheet has already been filed against the applicant. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I feel inclined to release the applicant on regular bail. 7.
