3   12-05-2026                  Heard the learned counsel for the parties.

                                2. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with

                   Vigilance P.S. Case No. 110 of 2025 registered for the offence

                   under Section(s) 7(a) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

                                3. As per the prosecution case, the petitioner, who was

                   working as a Marketing Officer (M.O.) Dulhin Bazar, was

                   caught while accepting a bribe of Rs. 10,000 from the

                   complainant.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence; rather

                   he has falsely been implicated in the trapped case. Petitioner is

                   in custody since 18.12.2025. It is further submitted that the

                   petitioner has been suspended and he has suffered long

          incarceration.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State and the learned counsel

          for the Vigilance have vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. It

          is submitted that the charge-sheet has been submitted.

                       6. Having considered the rival submissions and the

          facts and circumstances of the case as well as the period of

          custody of the petitioner, this Court is inclined to allow the

          prayer for bail.

                       7. Accordingly, let the petitioner, above named, be

          released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten

          Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

          satisfaction of the learned Court below where the case is

                                  the trial regularly either personally or
                                  through his lawyer and shall cooperate in
                                  the trial and non-cooperation in the trial
                                  shall result in cancellation of the bail bond
                                  of the petitioner.


                       8. It is made clear that any observation made herein is

          prima facie in nature and limited solely for the purpose of

          adjudication of the present bail application. Such observations
