Hon'ble Aniruddha Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
According to prosecution case, F.I.R. was lodged 9.9.2017 by the informant against two accused persons namely, Ravindra and Omkar alleging that on 5.9.2017 they abducted the wife of complainant.
It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that there is no evidence to connect the applicant with the present matter. Entire prosecution story is false and concocted. There is no independent witness. The applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. Main role is assigned to co-accused Ravindra. In case the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail; he is in jail since 14.12.2017 (more than two and half months) having no criminal history. Co-accused namely Ravindra has been granted bail by co-ordinate Bench of this Court on 5.1.2018 vide Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 360 of 2018 since the role of the applicant is not distinguishable with the role of co-accused, therefore, the applicant is also entitled for bail.
Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid fact as argued by learned counsel for the applicant and admitted that applicant has no criminal history.
Considering the submission of learned counsel for the parties, facts of the case, nature of allegation and period of custody, gravity of offence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for bail. Hence the bail application is hereby allowed.
Let the applicant Omkar involved in the Case Crime No. 832 of 2017, under Sections 366, 506 IPC, P.S. Hafizganj, District Bareilly be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions:
