B.A.267/24
It is alleged by the applicant / accused that he is innocent
and falsely implicated in the present case. The accused is arrested on
16.01.2024. He has undergone custodial interrogation. There is no
criminal antecedents against him. The applicant / accused is not
involved in preparing the fake documents. Therefore, there is no point
in keeping the accused behind bars. He is permanent resident of his
given address therefore he prayed for releasing him on bail.
3.

The prosecution opposed the application by filing reply
vide Exh.2. It is the contention of the prosecution that if the accused is
released on bail there are chances of flee from justice. If the accused is
released on bail there are chances of threatening of prosecution
witnesses and tampering of prosecution evidence. Hence, prosecution
prayed for rejection of the application.

the ld. Advocate for the applicant and ld. APP for the State.

I have gone through the application, reply, documents filed
on record. It is the prosecution case that the co-accused Dipti Nai was
caught by the railway police when she was using forged railway pass.

fabricated by the applicant / accused Imran Shaikh. The co-accused
Dipti Nai has been arrested on 15.01.2024. The applicant / accused
Imran has been arrested on 16.01.2024. Recovery from the accused
appears to have been made. The Investigating Officer submits that there
