Counsel for Applicant :- Nagendra Pratap Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Rahul Chaturvedi,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the material on record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in case crime no. 451 of 2018, under Section 306 IPC, P.S. Kotwali City, District Bijnor is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is lover of the deceased, though the applicant is married man but he was having a torrid affair with the deceased Renu and when this fact was unearthed was strongly objected by the applicant's wife. Then both of them decided to consume poison and commit suicide. In this regard learned counsel for the applicant has drawn the attention of the Court to Annexure-1 that the applicant was brought by his brother Surendra Singh to the hospital. Besides this learned counsel for the applicant has also addressed the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. of Jitendra son of Lakhan Singh and Dr. Beerbal who treated the both of them. Jitendra is eye witness of the incident who have seen the condition of both these persons, namely, applicant and the deceased and get her admitted in the hospital. The doctor in his statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. stated that the condition of deceased serious and though the condition of the applicant critical but eventually she could not be saved. The FIR to this effect was filed through 156(3) Cr.P.C. on 08.05.2018 in such type of situation where both of them have tried to commit suicide. He lastly submitted that the applicant is in jail since 06.07.2018 is entitled to be enlarged on bail during the pendency of trial.
Per contra learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforementioned facts.
Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned AGA and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for bail.
In view of the above, let the applicant- Amit Kumar be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned in case crime no. 451 of 2018, under Section 306 IPC, P.S. Kotwali City, District Bijnor with the following conditions:-
(i) THE APPLICANT SHALL FILE AN UNDERTAKING TO THE EFFECT THAT HE/SHE SHALL NOT SEEK ANY ADJOURNMENT ON THE DATE FIXED FOR EVIDENCE WHEN THE WITNESSES ARE PRESENT IN COURT.

(ii) THE APPLICANT SHALL REMAIN PRESENT BEFORE THE TRIAL COURT ON EACH DATE FIXED, EITHER PERSONALLY OR THROUGH HIS/HER COUNSEL. IN CASE OF HIS/HER ABSENCE, WITHOUT SUFFICIENT CAUSE, THE TRIAL COURT MAY PROCEED AGAINST HIM/HER UNDER SECTION 229-A IPC.

(iv) THE APPLICANT SHALL REMAIN PRESENT, IN PERSON, BEFORE THE TRIAL COURT ON DATES FIXED FOR (1) OPENING OF THE CASE, (2) FRAMING OF CHARGE AND (3) RECORDING OF STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 313 CR.P.C.
