Hon'ble Mohd. Aslam,J.
Heard Sri Mirza Ali Zulfaqar, learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
The present bail application has been filed by the applicant- Raj Kumar in Case Crime No. 24 of 2021, under Section 136 Electricity Act, 2003 and Section 411 I.P.C., Police Station- Bhot, District- Rampur, with the prayer to enlarge him on bail during trial.
The submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. The first information report has been lodged against unknown person with the allegation of theft of electric wire. It is next contended that similarly placed other co-accused persons namely Naim and Manoj have been enlarged on bail by the coordinate Bench of this Court vide orders dated 19.08.2021 and 20.12.2021 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 28938 of 2021 and 50095 of 2021, respectively. The criminal history of applicant has been duly explained in para 22 of affidavit filed in support of bail application. There is no early prospect of conclusion of trial. So, the applicant, who is languishing in jail since 28.03.2021, deserves to be released on bail.
Per contra, learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant but could not point out anything material to the contrary.
