The prosecution story in brief is that, complainant Mahendra Kumar Sahu lodged the written report before the concerned police station alleging therein that on 10.12.2019, on the assurance of allotting the patta land, the applicant has obtained total sum of Rs. 3 lacs on different occasion but neither money nor the land has been given till date. Based on that offence, after investigation, offence has been registered against the applicant and he has been arrested.

is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case. He further added in his submission that the charge-sheet has been filed and the applicant is in jail since 12.12.2019 and he is ready to furnish adequate surety and shall abide by all the conditions and directions, which may be imposed by this court, therefore, the present applicant may be released on bail.

4. Per contra, State counsel opposes the bail application.

5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.

Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offence, facts and circumstances of the case, as the applicant is in jail since 12.12.2019 and the trial is likely to take some time for its final disposal, this Court is of the view that it is a fit case to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the application is allowed.
