4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. He further submits that the other co-accused persons have already been granted bail in MCRC No. 3323/2018, 5888/2016, 3338/2016, 5579/2016 and MCRCA No. 577/2016 so, the applicant may also be granted benefit of bail.
