Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 49251 of 2018 Applicant :- Devendra Panth Opposite Party :- State Of U.P.
Counsel for Applicant :- Anil Kumar Jaiswal,Adarsh Kumar Bajpai Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Vivek Kumar Singh,J.
Heard Sri Anil Kumar Jaiswal, learned counsel for the applicant, 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. He further submits that the applicant has a criminal history of five cases which he has explained in paragraph 11 to the affidavit of the bail application. 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 29.3.2018 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 Devendra Panth be released on bail in Case Crime No. 305 of 2018 under Sections 3/25 Arms Act, Police Station- Kotwali District- Lalitpur on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties (Two lacs each) (One should be of a family member) in the like amount to the satisfaction of magistrate/court concerned, subject to following conditions:-

(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.
