¶3Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He would further submit that the petitioner was arrested and is in judicial custody from 20.03.2026. Hence, he prayed to grant bail to the petitioner.

¶6Considering the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, the nature of the offences, considering the fact that material part of investigation in this case is completed and the prosecution is awaiting for forensic lab report, also the fact that no previous case is pending against the petitioner, taking into consideration the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions.
