Hon'ble Shekhar Kumar Yadav,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record.
This bail application under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed by the applicant seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 154 of 2021, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 427, 452, 307, 504, 506, 325, 332, 353 IPC and 7 Criminal Law Amendment Act, at Police Station Katghar, District Moradabad.
Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It has further been submitted that the applicant is not named in the FIR. The applicant has no concern with the alleged incident. In first information report it has been alleged that the eight persons have committed the offence with lathi danda but no specific weapon has been assigned to the applicant. In this incident two persons have sustained injury but it has also not been specified as to who has caused the injury to the injured persons. Neither the injured persons in his statement recorded under section 161 Cr.P.C. nor first information report made any allegation against the applicant. It has further been submitted that no offence under section 307 IPC is made out against the applicant. He has further submitted that in case the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. The applicant is in jail since 3.4.2021.
On the other hand, learned A.G.A. opposes the application for bail.
Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, perusal of record and considering the complicity of accused, severity of punishment as well as totality of facts and circumstances, at this stage without commenting on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case for bail.
Let the applicant Pappu @ Pappu Saini, who is involved in aforementioned case 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 subject to following conditions. Further, before issuing the release order, the sureties be verified.

In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the Trial Court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law.
(ii) The applicant shall remain present before the Trial Court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the Trial Court may proceed against him under Section 229-A IPC.
