When the defacto complainant refused to part with the money, the petitioner along with other accused, robbed a sum of Rs.800/- from him at knife point. Hence, the complaint.
3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. He would further submit that the co-accused was already released on bail by the Lower Court. He further submitted that the petitioner was arrested and is in judicial custody for more than 85 days and is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed bail for the petitioner.

5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record including the First Information Report.
6. Considering the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, the nature of offence, co-accused was released on bail, money was also recovered, and though the petitioner has 15 previous cases, in all of the cases, he has been released on bail, and considering the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioner and also considering all others factors, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions.
