Learned counsel for the accused-applicant, while pressing the bail application, submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and, he has not committed any offence, as claimed by the prosecution and, even if the case of the prosecution, as narrated in the FIR as well as in the statement of prosecution witnesses, is taken on its face, the only allegation which has been levelled against the applicant is to the tune that he has failed to construct boundary-wall on the boundaries of the land while the money for that purpose had already been taken by him. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet in this case has already been filed and the applicant is languishing in jail in this case since 28.11.2023. Criminal history of five cases has been explained in the supplementary affidavit filed today. Co-accused- Krishna Kant Srivastava, whose role in the alleged crime is graver than the applicant, has been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order passed in Criminal Misc.
