Hon'ble Vipin Sinha,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A. G. A. for the State Applicant has moved the present anticipatory bail application seeking bail in Case Crime No. 346 of 2019 u/s 3/5/8 of U.P. Cow Slaughter Act and 11 Prevention of Curelty to Animals Act, P.S. Nakhasa, District Sambhal.
I have perused the prosecution story as set up in the F.I.R. and also the anticipatory bail rejection order.
Contention as raised at the Bar by learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case; the co-accused Gufran @ Bhura Singh has already been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 26.9.2018 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 39582 of 2019. He further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of the co-accused who has already been granted indulgence, he is also entitled to be granted indulgence on the ground of parity. the matter needs deeper and fairer investigation before any arrest should be given effect to.
Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the applicant.
Keeping in view the reasons as stated above, the facts and circumstances of the case as have been discussed at the Bar of this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, considering the nature of accusation, the applicant is entitled to be released on anticipatory bail in this case.
In the event of arrest of the applicant, Akram involved in the aforesaid case, he shall be released on anticipatory bail on his furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 25,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:-
(i) the applicant will join and participate in each and every aspect of "Investigation" and will lend full assistance to the Investigating Agency even with regard to "discovery of fact" if and when required so by the Investigating Agency or the concerned court;
(ii) the applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required;
iii) the applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police office;
(iv) the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if he has passport the same shall be deposited by him before the S.S.P./S.P. Concerned.
In default or misuse of any of the conditions, the Public Prosecutor/Investigating Officer/first informant-complainant is at liberty to file appropriate application for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to the applicant.
