Learned counsel has stated that applicant is ready to return the land and the money due towards the land, if released on bail. Several other submissions have been made on behalf of the applicant to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against him.

The applicant is languishing in jail since 4.4.2021. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
