Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as the learned AGA for the State and perused the material placed on record.
The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Rajesh with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 15 of 2019, under Section 308 IPC, Police Station Bhagatpur, District- Moradabad, during pendency of trial.
From the perusal of FIR, there is general allegation against four persons including the applicant for causing injury by Lathi, Thanda and Fanti. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant. Even injured has not clearly stated who caused the alleged injury. Submission is that applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. He does not have any criminal history to his credit. The applicant is languishing in jail since 22.4.2019. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserves any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail.
Having considered the submissions of the parties, larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh Vs. State of U.P. and another, reported in (2018) 3 SCC 22 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, let the applicant Rajesh involved in the aforesaid 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 with the following conditions that :-
