Hon'ble Vivek Kumar Singh,J.
Heard Sri Jagdish Prasad Mishra, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Abhinav Prasad, learned AGA for the State and perused the material brought on record.
The submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. It is further submitted that neither the applicant has committed such type of offence nor any reality in the first information report, the applicant and the informant both are living in the same village and on account of some money dispute the applicant has falsely been roped in the present case. It is also submitted that the co-accused Sarendra has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 04.09.2018 in Bail Application No. 294 of 2018, a copy of said order has been produced by the learned counsel for the applicant, which is taken on record. It is also submitted that applicant is aged about 65 years and he has not committed any offence as stated by prosecution. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed forth before the Court. Further submission is that applicant who is in jail since 17.07.2018 has no other criminal history and there is also no possibility of his either fleeing away from the judicial process or tampering with the witnesses. Applicant also undertakes that he will not misuse the liberty, if granted.
Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the prayer.
Having heard the submissions of learned counsel of both sides, larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh v. State of U.P. and another, reported in (2018) 3 SCC 22 and without expressing any view on the merit of the case, I find it to be a case of bail.
Let applicant Amrish be released on bail in Case Crime No. 118 of 2018, under Sections 452, 354-Kha, 323, 504, 506, 427, 34 IPC and 7/8 Protection of Children From Sexual Offences Act, 2012, Police Station- Kakarauli, District- Muzaffarnagar on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of magistrate/court concerned, subject to following conditions:-
(i) The applicant will co-operate with the trial and remain present personally on each and every date fixed after release.
(ii) The applicant will not tamper with the prosecution evidence and will not delay the disposal of trial in any manner whatsoever. (iii) The applicant will not indulge in any unlawful activities. (iv) The applicant will not misuse the liberty of bail in any manner whatsoever.
The identity, status and residential proof of sureties will be verified by court concerned and in case of breach of any of the conditions mentioned above, court concerned will be at liberty to cancel the bail and send the applicant to prison.
The trial Court is directed to expedite the trial of the present case and conclude the same as expeditiously as possible from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order, keeping in view the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Alakh Alok Srivastava Vs. Union of India and another reported in AIR 2018 (SC) 2004, if there is no legal impediment.
