Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and he has not committed any offence in the manner alleged. He further submits that there was a transaction for purchase of a Tempo between informant's husband and co-accused Pradeep Kumar. However, both the parties have settled their dispute which would be evident from Annexure-2. He next submits that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent and he is in custody since 12.01.2021.

Regards being had to the submission made by the parties and taking into consideration the materials on record, the fact that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent, he is in custody since 12.01.2021 and charge sheet has already been submitted, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.
