The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner waylaid the defacto complainant and robbed a sum of Rs.600/- from the defacto complainant and also threatened him of dire consequences. Hence, this case.

3.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he is in judicial custody since 27.09.2025; and that the petitioner is ready to abide by any condition that may be imposed by this Court and sought for bail to the petitioner.

4.

The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for 2/4
