On 22/12/2017, complainant - Nitish Jangde had lodged a FIR against the applicants alleging that after two days of Dashera Festival, when he went to the house of the applicants, he was given a medicine, which on the influence of the applicant, he consumed and as a result,

he was intoxicated and was asked to bring valuable ornaments from his house. He was also given threat to kill. He brought valuable ornaments from his parental aunt's house and handed over it to the applicants. On the said report, the police registered the crime and the applicants were arrested on 24/12/2017.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent persons and have been falsely implicated in the present case. Charge-sheet has already been filed and the trial will likely to take some time to conclude, therefore, they may be released on bail.

5.

Per contra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the bail application.

6.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly considering the fact that charge-sheet has already been filed; the applicants are in jail since 24/12/2017; and the trial will likely to take some time to conclude, this court is inclined to release the applicant on bail.
