¶19

Though, the learned APP appearing for the State has vehemently opposed the bail prayer of the petitioner but fairly accepts that to substantiate the offences of the cyber crime and fraud, there is nothing on record except the recovery of two mobile phones from the possession of the petitioner and during the course of investigation till the date of submission of the case diary, no one has come before the police claiming to be a victim of any fraud committed by the petitioner.

Accordingly, let the petitioner named-above be released on bail in connection with Giriyak (Katrisarai) P.S. Case No. 271/ 2025 on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the
