Submission of the learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant is wholly innocent and he has been made a scapegoat by certain broker and he is to obtain benefit of Rs. 38,000/under the Swatah Rojgar Yojana (Self Employment Scheme). It is alleged that the applicant had filed forged income and caste certificates in order to derive benefit. It is argued that it is yet to be established by an expert that the said documents were forged. In fact, the manipulation was done by the brokers who took the major part of the money received by the applicant under the aforesaid scheme. The case of the applicant is distinguishable from that of officials and brokers who are directly involved in fabrication of documents. It is submitted that co-accused Smt. Shakuntla Devi and Maya Devi have been granted bail by this Court in Bail Application nos. 4845 of 2020 and 5091 of 2020 vide orders dated 3.2.2020 and 4.2.2020.
