Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
Heard 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, Monu with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No.214 of 2018 under sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 414 IPC PS.Khatauli, District Muzaffarnagar, during pendency of trial.
It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that co-accused Moin @ Naim @ Moni @ Moinuddi, who is alleged to have twenty cases of criminal history, has been enlarged on bail by this Court on 26.7.2018 vide Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 27921 of 2018. The applicant has criminal history of two cases, which has been explained in paragraph No. 12 of the affidavit in support of bail application. The applicant is languishing in jail since 27.02.2018. 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 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, 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 Monu 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 :-
