None puts in appearance on behalf of the complainant despite service. 4. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that the appellant has not been named in the FIR. The FIR was registered only against the co-accused Ghanshyam and Rajan. Learned counsel also submits that the co-accused Ghanshyam has already been acquitted by the learned Trial Court vide judgment dated 05.01.2024. It is further submitted that no recovery was effected from him nor was any incriminating material connecting him with the alleged offence established during the course of investigation. The appellant is in custody since 16.12.20225 though three cases have been reported against him, however, in all cases he is already on bail. Therefore, the appeal presented by the present appellant may be allowed. 5. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the appeal. 6.
