Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J.
Heard Sri Rajesh Narain Srivastva, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Pankaj Srivastava, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Devi Ram with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 22 of 2019, under Sections 147, 148, 323, 325, 307, 406, 420, 504, 506 I.P.C., Police Station-
Sikandarabad, District- Bulandshahr, during pendency of trial.
It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. It is further argued that as per the allegations made in the F.I.R., there was some dispute with respect to money, which was given by the informant to the applicant and when the informant demanded the said money, the dispute arose between the two, due to which there was a quarrel between the parties in which the applicant fired upon the informant with country made pistol, due to which he has sustained injuries. As per the injury report, the injury sustained by the injured are simple in nature and the same are on non vital part of the body. Subsequently, the applicant has also lodged the F.I.R. against the informant through application 156(3) Cr.P.C. for the same incident. The applicant is languishing in jail since 22.05.2019. The applicant does not have any previous criminal history. In case, he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in the trial by all means. Lastly, it is submitted that there is no chance of applicant fleeing away from judicial process or tampering with the witnesses.
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, he does not deserves any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail.
Having considered the submissions of 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 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, let the applicant involved in the aforesaid crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions that :-
1. The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence by intimidating/ pressurizing the witnesses, during the investigation or trial.
2. The applicant shall cooperate in the trial sincerely without seeking any adjournment.
3. The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity or commission of any crime after being released on bail.
In case, of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
Identity, status and residence proof of the applicant and sureties be verified by the court concerned before the bonds are accepted.
