¶18

It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant has falsely been implicated in the present case and he has nothing to do with the alleged offence. Expeditious culmination of trial is not a seeming fate and no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the appellant behind the bars. He, therefore, prays that benefit of bail may be granted to the appellant.

¶19

Per contra, learned learned Public Prosecutor as well as the learned counsel for the complainant has opposed the bail application.

¶20

Heard learned counsel for the appellant, learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record.

¶21

Except invocation of penal provision of SC/ST Act, all over offences under Indian Panel Code are bailable. Thus, taking into account the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that trial would take a long time to conclude, this Court is of the opinion that the appellant deserve to be enlarged on bail.

¶22
