Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned Additional Government Advocate for the State of U.P. and perused the record.

¶6

The present bail application has been filed by the applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No. 62 of 2007, under Sections 3/7 of essential Commodities Act, Police Station- Bahjoi, District - Sambhal.

¶7

Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present crime. It is submitted that the applicant was not named in the FIR. It is further stated that neither the applicant was arrested from the spot nor any recovery has been made from his possession. It is also submitted that there is no apprehension that after being released on bail, he may flee from the course of law or may, otherwise, misuse the liberty of bail and the applicant is in jail since 30.5.2022 and the possibility of conclusion of trial in near future is very bleak.

Learned A.G.A. has, however, opposed the prayer for grant of bail.
