4. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the applicant is not named in the FIR and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has nothing to do with the said offence. During trial, the informant was examined as PW-1 and he has not supported the prosecution story. He has completely resiled from his earlier statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C., while earlier on during his statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C., he had allayed apprehension against the applicant that too was a weak kind of evidence. There is no likelihood of conviction of the applicant in the present case.
5. Learned counsel for the applicant has further stated that the co-accused person, whose case was of similar footing to the applicant, has already been enlarged on bail by the trial court. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 20.12.2019 and he is ready to cooperate with trial.
