It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. In fact, the applicant has been hatched in conspiracy as the informant himself was trying to pressurize the applicant to enhance certain sections of I.P.C. and when it was denied, he got trapped the present applicant in the instant case. Proceeding of trapping is not as per the norms. He was arrested at one place and memo was prepared at another place. Three ingredients, which are necessary for such trapping cases, are-(i) the work; (ii) demand; and (iii) recovery. These ingredients are missing in the instant matter. As such, whole trapping proceeding is vitiated in the eyes of law. The present applicant is a Government servant, as such, there is no possibility of his fleeing away from the trial. Further, charge sheet has also been filed, as such, there is no possibility of either tampering the evidence or threatening the witnesses. Whole career of the applicant as policeman remained above board. There is no criminal history of the applicant, which has been explained in para 36 of the bail application. The applicant is a law abiding citizen, who is languishing in jail since 16.6.2022. In case, the applicant is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty and will co-operate in the trial proceedings.
