Bharthana, District Etawah pending before the concerned courts below.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
The contention of the counsel for the applicants is that no offence against the applicant is disclosed and the present prosecution has been instituted with malafide intention for the purposes of harassment. He pointed out certain documents and statements in support of his contentions.
Learned A.G.A. has opposed the application.
From perusal of the record, it appears that, prima facie, a cognizable offence is made out against the accused-applicant. The contention raised by the learned counsel for the applicant requires appreciation of evidence and adjudication of questions of fact, which is not permissible under jurisdiction of Section 482 Cr.P.C. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and after perusing the averments made in the present application, no case for interference has been made out. The prayer as made above is here by refused.
However, after hearing learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State, this application is finally disposed off with a direction that if the applicant appears and surrenders before the court below within 30 days from today and applies for bail, his prayer for bail shall be considered and decided expeditiously.
For a period of 30 days from today or till the applicant surrenders in the court, whichever is earlier, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicant. However, in case, the applicant does not appear before the Courts below within the aforesaid period, coercive action shall be taken against him.
With the aforesaid direction, the application is disposed off finally.
