Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in Case Crime No. 139 of 2019, under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 I.P.C., P.S. Barsana, district-Mathura, is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is only the marginal witness of the alleged sale deed which was executed in favour of the other co-accused persons namely, Puneet, Davesh Sharma and Ayush Sharma. Neither he was beneficiary nor he has committed any forgery or fraud. He is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case due to some ulterior motive. Further submission is that all the offences are triable by the court of Magistrate.
