Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the said Trap was conducted on the complaint of complainant Sher Singh, whose statement has been recorded before the trial court, who did not support the prosecution case and was declared hostile. He further submitted that only Rs.2,000/- were shown to be recovered from his possession on the demand made by him from the complainant on 3.4.2010.

After considering all the facts and circumstances, without expressing any opinion about the final merits of the case, the Court is of the view that the present applicant deserves bail at this stage. Let the applicant be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of court concerned. The bail application is allowed accordingly. (Dharam Veer, J.) October 8, 2010 Rajeev Dang
