It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. It is further submitted that main allegation has been made against the co-accused Kallu Ahriwar, who has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 20.8.2019 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 33500 of 2019.Applicant has been assigned role of catching hold. The applicant is languishing in jail since 15.6.2019, who is not a previous convict. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
