Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned Additional Government Advocate representing the State and perused the record of the case.
By means of this application, the applicant, who is involved in Case Crime No. 269 of 2019, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 411, 413 and 414 IPC, police station Saini, district Kaushambi, is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that on 24.7.2019 police apprehended six persons and from their possession five trucks were recovered. He next submitted that the co-accused, namely, Sachin Kumar Singh, Ranjit Singh @ Raju Patel, Kafeel Khan, Prem Narayan Mishra @ Panjit Ji @ Pandit Ji, have been granted bail by the coordinate Bench of this Court vide orders dated 14.10.2019, 19.10.2019, 24.10.2019, 30.10.2019 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 41498 of 2019, 43249 of 2019, 44376 of 2019, 45406 of 2019 respectively, therefore, on the ground of parity, the applicant is also entitled to be released on bail. It is next contended that there is no chance of the applicant of fleeing away from the judicial process or tampering with the prosecution evidence. It is also submitted that the applicant is facing detention since 24.7.2019. Criminal history of the applicant has been explained in the bail application supported by an affidavit. Learned counsel for the applicant lastly submitted that if the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in the early disposal of the case.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage therefore, the applicant does not deserve any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will misuse the liberty of bail.
