Submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case with ulterior motive. He did not commit any offence as alleged and has no concern whatsoever with it. He has no criminal antecedent. Learned counsel for the applicant has drawn attention of this Court to an order dated 28.1.2022 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 33800 of 2021 whereby co-accused Abrar, on identical facts and circumstances, has been granted bail. Copy of said order is on the record as Annexure-11 to the affidavit filed in support of bail application. The applicant seeks parity. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed forth before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been touched upon at length. It has been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required. The applicant is languishing in jail since 25.11.2020. He undertakes that he will not misuse the liberty, if granted, therefore, he may be released on bail.
