¶2The FIR in question was lodged as a missing person report against one Likku. Subsequently, five persons including the applicant were linked with the offence in question.

¶3It is argued by the Counsel for the applicant that four of the co-accused persons have been enlarged on bail by this Court. Copies of the bail orders are on record. He further submits that the criminal antecedents of the applicant has been duly explained.
