2. Learned advocate Mr.Vijay P. Desai has submitted that the applicant is an innocent person and he has not committed any offence as alleged. Further, the applicant is not at all named in the FIR and in addition to it, in two other offences similar in nature, the present applicant is already released on bail and such release is not misused by the present applicant and hence, by imposing suitable conditions, the applicant be enlarged on regular bail.

It has also been pointed out that he may not be named in the FIR but, during the course of investigation, his name has been surfaced. As a result of this, this is not a fit case to grant the regular bail to the applicant. However, after perusing the further orders attached with the application reflecting on page-9 of the compilation and in view of the fact that in two other offences, the applicant is already released which is not misused by the applicant in any manner, the learned APP has ultimately left it to the discretion of the Court.

4. Having heard learned advocates appearing for the parties and having gone through the material on record, it appears that the applicant's name is surfaced in the FIR subsequently and in two other offences, the applicant is already released which is not misused by the applicant in any manner, the Court is inclined to accept the request of the applicant.

5. Hence, in view of the above, the present application is allowed. The applicants are ordered to be released on regular bail in connection with the FIR, being I-C.R.
