Counsel for Applicant :- Kuldeep Johri,Sudhir Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
Heard Sri Sudhir Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the applicant as well as the learned AGA for the State and perused the material placed on record.
The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Jaspal Singh @ Jassa with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 547 of 2017, under Sections 498-A, 304-B, 201 IPC and Section 3/4 D.P. Act, Police Station Gajraula, District- Pilibhit, during pendency of trial.
It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that informant, PW-1, has turned hostile before the trial court. The marriage between applicant and victim took place in the year 2012 and the incident in dispute has taken place in the year 2017. However, the informant himself has not supported the prosecution's case. The applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. He does not have any criminal history to his credit. The applicant is languishing in jail since November, 2017. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail 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, larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India 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 Jaspal Singh @ Jassa 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.
The trial court is directed to conclude the trial in the aforesaid case, within a period of one year, from the date of production of certified copy of this order.
