Counsel for Applicant :- Om Narayan Pandey Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Vivek Kumar Singh,J.
Counter affidavit filed on behalf of the State is taken on record.
Heard Sri O.N.Pandey, 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 nothing has been recovered from the possession of the applicant, a false recovery which has been shown from the possession of applicant, is planted. There is no independent witness of the alleged recovery. 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 19.8.2018. He 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.
Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case,let applicant Maikulal be released on bail in Case Crime No. 1002 of 2017, under Section 3/7 Essential Commodities Act, 1955 & Sec.409 IPC, Police Station- Banda, District- Shahjahanpur on furnishing a personal bond and two heavy sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of magistrate/court concerned, subject to following conditions:-
