CrPC, S. 438 – bail – Political rivalry – Vociferous allegations have been raised on behalf of the petitioner that the fir in question is the result of political rivalry and the State has gone to the extent of changing officials till it got convenient ones who would toe their line – It is further contended that the timing of registration of the FIR in question is reflective of the mala-fides – The present government, it is submitted, had come in power in 2017, therefore there was no impediment in having registered the FIR much prior in time – However, I do not find that such allegations are substantiated to the extent which would persuade this Court to arrive at a conclusion that the entire official machinery is to be painted with a tainted brush, inasmuch as all of them have connived to try and implicate the petitioner in a false case -Such an averment indeed appears to be farfetched and delusionary in the given circumstances and the specific material on record.
