Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 6997 of 2018 Applicant :- Prabhudayal Kushwaha Opposite Party :- State Of U.P.
Counsel for Applicant :- Avdhesh Narayan Tiwari,Devesh Vikram Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Rahul Chaturvedi,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in case crime no. 1073 of 2017, under Sections 302, 201, 34 IPC, P.S. Kotwali Orai, District- Jalaun is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant in support of his application for bail submits that the applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated. It is further submitted that the applicant is an old person aged about 70 years, father-in-law of the deceased. The husband Kaushal Koshore having illicit relationship with other lady. When the same was objected by the deceased then the Kaushal Kishore wiped-off his legally wedded wife(deceased). The present applicant, who is the father-in-law also objected to his son. The complicity of the applicant is doubtful. There is no recovery from the pointing out of the applicant. The case of the applicant is clearly distinguishable from co-accused Kaushal Kishore, who happens to be the husband of the deceased. It is further argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the case is of the separate living and there is no satisfactorily reply given by the learned AGA. The applicant is in jail since 22.10.2017 having no criminal antecedents.
Learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts and the legal submissions as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.
Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, 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 the applicant Prabhudayal Kushwaha, be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice:-
