It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the aforesaid case. He submits that uptil now charges have not been framed and that there was no eye-witness to the alleged occurrence and his confessional statement before the police has no evidentiary value in the eye of law neither the recovery of Rs. 1,18,000/- from the possession of the petitioner would amount to the money stolen from the post office.
