4. It is contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated and is languishing in jail since 03.03.2025 and charge sheet has already been filed, as such, there is no need of custodial interrogation of the applicant.

2025:UHC:8433 applicant has no previous criminal history.
6. After hearing the arguments of the
learned counsel for the parties, and further taking into consideration that charge sheet has already been filed, and, as such, there is no need of custodial interrogation of the applicant and furthermore the applicant has no previous criminal history, and other co- accused have already been enlarged on bail, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves for bail.
7. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, the bail application is allowed.
