The applicant is in jail since 19.02.2005 and learned A.G.A. could not show any criminal history of the applicant before me. As per the allegation made by the complainant in his written report, it reveals that the bribe was in fact demanded by the Junior Engineer.

Having considered the aforesaid circumstances, I think it is just and proper to release the applicant on bail at this stage.
