The applicant, who is in custody since 20.08.2022, has approached this Court for grant of regular bail.
The applicant is an accused of Chain snatching.
It has been submitted by the counsel for the applicant(s) that complete set of FIR along with its enclosure have been annexed with this bail application and there is no suppression on his/her part.
Innocence has been claimed and participation in the trial has been assured. It has been submitted that one of the co-accused, who has been arrested along with this applicant, has already been enlarged on bail by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court and copy, granting bail, has been brought on record. On the above facts, prayer for bail has been made.
On the other hand, learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail and it has been submitted that two FIRs of similar nature have been lodged against this applicant.
