1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the material brought on record. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant is not named in the F.I.R., which was lodged against two accused. Allegation is that informant had made some investment in Shine City Company under allurement lucrative returns but no returns were paid to the informant. The applicant being Director of the company has been implicated in the present case. It has also been submitted that more than 500 FIRs were lodged throughout the State arising out of similar disputes. The applicant has been named in some of the FIRs. The applicant has already been granted bail in and around in 15 other cases of similar nature. The named accused, Amitabh Kumar Srivastava @ Amitabh Srivastava, has already been enlarged on bail. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him.The applicant is in jail since 01.11.2021. 4. Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserves any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Considering the overall facts and circumstances, the nature of allegations, the gravity of offence and without expressing any opinion on merits, this Court finds it to be a fit case for bail. Accordingly, the bail application stands allowed. 6.
