When the identity of the petitioner is not spoken to by the alleged eyewitnesses and the petitioner has contended in the petition that there is a false implication, also contended that he is innocent and is ready to abide by any reasonable conditions to be imposed by the Court and also since investigation is completed and charge sheet is filed, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case to exercise the discretion in favour of the petitioner. 6.
