Hon'ble Rajiv Gupta,J.
Heard learned counsel for applicant, the learned AGA for the State and perused the record.
Applicant- Peetam seeks bail in Case Crime No. 415 of 2018, under Sections 363, 342 IPC, P.S. Jahangirabad, District- Bulandshahr.
Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case on account of ulterior motive. He has further drawn the attention towards the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. in which she has categorically stated that her family members had beaten her, as such in the next morning, she left her house out of her own free-will and joined the company of applicant and had gone to Aligarh and stayed with him and there is no allegation of rape against the applicant. Lastly, it is submitted that applicant is in jail since 13.9.2018 and in case, he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in the trial by all means. The applicant has no criminal history to his credit.
Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail, but could not dispute the fact that the victim appears to have gone with the applicant out of her own free-will and consent and the applicant has no criminal history.
Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of punishment, submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail.
Let applicant Peetam be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number on his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions :-
(i) The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity.
(ii) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence.
(iii) The applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses.
(iv) The applicant shall regularly appear on the dates fixed by the trial court unless his personal attendance is exempted by the trial court.
In case of default of any of the conditions enumerated above, it will be open to the opposite parties to approach the Court for cancellation of bail.
