According to the case of the prosecution, this applicant motivated the co-accused, his wife Satrupa @ Rupa to impersonate as Mangtin Bai the mother of this applicant for the purpose of sale of land, which was recorded in the name of Mangtin Bai and resultantly, sale deed was executed for consideration of Rs.2,93,000/-. On coming to know about this fraud and cheating, Mangtin Bai has lodged FIR. Hence, this case. 6.

Considered on the submissions made and the contents of the case diary. After considering all the material present in the case diary and looking to this fact that the case is pending before the trial Court and the case is likely to take sometime for its conclusion, hence for this reason, this Court is of the opinion that present is a fit case, in which, the applicant should be enlarged on regular bail. 7.
