Allegation against the applicant is of securing govt. job on the basis of the forged degree/certificate of B.Led.
It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. Applicant is in jail since 14.05.2021.
It is further submitted that at earlier point of time, the applicant was granted anticipatory bail vide order dated 27.05.2021 passed in Criminal Misc Anticipatory Bail Application No. 9857 of 2021 but the police is said to have arrested the applicant on 14.5.2021. It is further submitted that against the order of recovery, the applicant approached this Court in which the recovery has been stayed by this Court vide order dated 19.03.2021 passed in Writ A No. 2518 0f 2021.

It is further submitted that the applicant has not committed any crime as alleged in the FIR.
On the other hand, learned A.G.A. opposes the application for bail. He submits that the investigation is now complete and the charge sheet has been filed.
Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, perusal of record and considering the complicity of accused, severity of punishment as well as totality of facts and circumstances, at this stage without commenting on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case for bail.
