Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J.
Heard Sri Sumit Goyal, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri P.K. Shahi, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record of the present bail application.
The present bail application has been filed by the applicant – Ashif with a prayer to enlarge him on bail in Case Crime No.189 of 2019, under Sections 3/5A/8 of Cow Slaughter Act, 3/11 of Cruelty to Animal Act and Section 307 I.P.C., Police Station Sarsawa, District Saharanpur.
It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case due to ulterior motive. It is next argued that on the basis of an information given by the informer that a gang of persons who are involved in cow slaughtering have assembled at a place, the police party raided the said place and on being confronted by the police in order to save themselves they started firing on the police personnels but no-one has received any injury. It is argued that recovery shown against the applicant is planted one. It is next contended that there is no possibility of fleeing away from the judicial process or tampering with the witnesses and in case, the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail and the applicant is languishing in jail since 16.06.2019. Accordingly, he requests for bail.
Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as submissions made by learned counsel for the parties 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, without expressing any opinion on merit of the case, let the applicant involved in aforesaid case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two local sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the following conditions:-
(i) The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity.
(ii) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence.
(iii) The applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses.
(iv) The applicant shall regularly appear on the dates fixed by the trial court unless his personal attendance is exempted by the trial court.
In case of default of any of the conditions enumerated above, it will be open to the opposite parties to approach the Court for cancellation of bail.
