The petitioner has filed the instant application for grant of regular bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 392 of the Indian Penal Code.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16323 of 2024(2) dt.12-03-2024 2/3 It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. Neither the petitioner is named in F.I.R. nor he has been put on T.I.P. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from his possession. The name of petitioner sprang up in this case on confessional statement of co-accused Bhole Shankar and Ravi Ranjan Prasad. Moreover, the petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 18.10.2023. Similarly situated co-accused person, namely, Ravi Ranjan Prasad has been granted bail vide order dated 01.09.2023, passed in Cr. Misc. No. 57550 of 2023 by this Court.

In contra, learned APP appearing for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for Bail.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case as well as period of custody, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
