2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was falsely implicated in this case; therefore, it is a fit case to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. 3.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State submitted that the petitioner is the prime accused in this case and the investigation is in progress; therefore, it is not a fit case to grant bail to the petitioner. 4.
