It appears from the report that documents relied on by the petitioner i.e. Voter's Identity Card and Aadhaar Card were procured on the basis of fictitious documents. In view of the aforesaid circumstances and nature of accusation, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Prayer for bail of the petitioner is, thus, rejected. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
