Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as the learned AGA for the State and perused the material placed on record.
The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Ajay Singh with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 162 of 2015,(Criminal Case No. 10005 of 2017) under Sections 498-A, 323, 352, 406 IPC, and section 3/4 -B of Dowry Prohibition Act Police Station Mahila Thana, District- Bareilly, during pendency of trial.
It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. The submission is that marriage of the applicant with the victim took place in the year 2002, the demand of dowry has been alleged in the year 2015.The applicant has been falsely implicated as there was no dispute regarding demand of dowry. The applicant is languishing in jail since 16.2.2019, who is not a previous convict. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserves any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail.
Having considered the submissions of the parties, larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh Vs. State of U.P. and another reported in (2018)3 SCC 22 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, let the applicant Ajay Singh involved in the aforesaid crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions that :-
