Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that applicants are wholly innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. Learned counsel for the applicant has next submitted that in the complaint only role assigned to the applicant is of assaulting the victims and specific role of setting hamlet on fire has been assigned to co-accused Leeladhar.

The applicant has no criminal history to his credit.

Per contra, learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail, but could not dispute the aforesaid facts and the fact that no role of setting hamlet on fire has been assigned to the applicant and he is in jail since 8.1.2019.
