The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He would further submit that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 17.07.2026 and is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed for the grant of bail. 4.
