As per prosecution case, co-accused Avinash Singh @ Alok Singh @ Langra had taken a sum of Rs 60 lacs from the father of the informant and other villagers for securing job for them in Railways but failed to provide them with any job in the Railways and when father of the informant and other villagers had demanded to refund money, said Avinash Singh @ Alok Singh @ Langra started making false excuses. It is further alleged that on 16.05.2020, said co-accused Avinash Singh had

No.31364 of 2021(4) dt.03-12-2021 2/3 called father of the informant and one Raj Kumar Singh to the house of Rajiv Mali and had stated that their money would be given at the said place, where after they had gone to the said place but they did not return back to the house, the informant suspected foul play and started making phone calls on the mobile number of his father and co-accused Raj Kumar Singh but they did not pick up the phone, whereupon informant came to Hajipur and informed the Sadar police station. It is submitted that from FIR it appears that money has been taken by Avinash Singh who disclosed name of Rajiv Mali. Admittedly, petitioner was nowhere in picture either in mediation or in taking amount nor having any concern with the said Rajiv Mali or Avinash Singh. Co-accused persons have been granted bail by a coordinate bench of this court vide Cr. Misc. no. 25576/2020. He has been arrested on mere suspicion and there is no eye witness to the occurrence. Petitioner is in jail custody since 23.01.2021 and investigation in this case is complete .
Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the facts of the case and the period of custody of the petitioner, this bail application is allowed. Let the
