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 the allegations have been levelled in the FIR as well as in the statement of the prosecution witnesses are false, concocted and could not be believed. It is vehemently submitted that the allegations which have been levelled against the applicant that he has taken huge amount of money from the informant, however, during the course of investigation a compromise has taken place between the applicant and the informant/ complainant and, it is in lieu of that compromise, the informant/complainant is not opposing the plea of bail of the applicant. Attention of this court has been drawn towards Annexure SA-2 annexed with the supplementary affidavit dated 13.03.2024 which is an extract of the compromise entered into between the wife of the applicant and the informant/complainant and, it is stated therein that the money which was due upon the applicant

¶13

Learned A.G.A., however, opposes the prayer of bail of the applicant on the ground that the applicant has committed an heinous offence and, therefore, he is not entitled to be released on bail.

¶14

Shri Rahul Yadav, learned counsel for the informant/complainant, submits that he, under the instructions given by the informant/complainant and relying on the short-counter affidavit filed on behalf of the informant/complainant, is making his submission that he is not opposing the bail plea of the applicant as the dispute between the parties has been settled.

¶15

Considering the fact that the informant/complainant and the wife of the applicant has compromised the dispute under which the money which was due upon the applicant has been paid back to the informant/complainant and having regard to the period of custody already undergone by the applicant in this case and also the fact that criminal history of the applicant has been explained adequately, a case for bail is emerging in favour of the applicant.
