He further submitted that the applicant was not arrested from the place of occurrence and on the confessional statement of co-accused Chhote Yadav, he was arrested from his house. Neither stolen ornaments nor any cash has been recovered from the possession of the applicant.
He has next submitted that similarly placed co-accused Chhote has already been granted bail by co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 26016 of 2021 vide order dated 27.07.2021 and case of the applicant stands on the same footing as that of co-accused Chhote, who has already been granted bail. He has next submitted that the applicant is in jail since 20.01.2020 and has no criminal history to his credit. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will co-operate in the trial by all means.
