¶17

the basis of information given by Gunjesh Chaudhary, offence has been registered and during course of investigation, the present applicant has been arrested.

¶18

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. There is no any legal evidence available on the record against the applicant to implicate him for the alleged crime in question. Further he submits that no TIP of the present applicant has been conducted nor any looted ornaments or cash has been recovered from him. Apart from the confessional statement of the present applicant, no evidence has collected by the prosecution. The confessional statement made by the applicant is also not legally admissible. Considering the detention period of the applicant, it is prayed that the petitioner may be granted benefit of bail.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the arguments raised by the counsel for the petitioner and submits that since there were so many criminal antecedents of the petitioner, therefore his prayer for grant of regular bail may be rejected.
