Learned counsel for the applicant submits that no offence as alleged in the FIR has been made out against the applicant. Applicant is not named in the F.I.R. and he has been generally implicated by the police. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant in the alleged incident. Co-accused namely Shubham Bharati has already been released on bail vide order dated 19.03.2025 passed by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Crl. Misc. Bail Application No. 47388 of 2024. Hence, bail has been prayed for. 5. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed, but could not dispute the fact that applicant has no criminal antecedents. 6. Considering all those 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. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8.
