1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned APP for the State.

3. The main submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner are that the petitioner was arrested from his house and as he has criminal antecedent of two cases, he was remanded in the present case also by the police merely on the basis of suspicion and moreover he has been languishing in jail since 15.11.2022 and against him, the investigation has been completed and the instant matter relates to the recovery of

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the above submissions and mainly the petitioner's custody period and the completion of investigation against him, in my opinion, it is a fit case for bail to the petitioner.
