He offered to get the informant employed in CISF and the applicant and Gyanesh Yadav offered to get him employed in case he pays Rs. 10 lakhs .

It is said in the F.I.R that both the accused persons had said that the co-accused is an Army Officer and he gets people employed in Defence after taking money. The F.I.R has been lodged when the informant could not get employment even after payment of money.

¶8Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that it is the informant himself, who tried to get employment in CISF by payment of bribe and he has filed the F.I.R after having failed in his endeavor; that one of the co-accused has alreyad been granted bail, coupled with the fact that the applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 09.08.2023 and without making any observations which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant is also entitled to be released on bail
