From the allegations in the FIR, it appears that the applicant was present in the hotel fromwhere under trial accused being carried by the police absconded from the police custody, while having meals in a hotel. There is no specific role assigned to the applicant in the alleged offence. The applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motives.

He does not have any criminal history to his credit. The applicant is languishing in jail since 04.4.2019. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
