Counsel for Applicant :- Virendra Kumar Jaiswal Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Rahul Chaturvedi,J.
Heard Sri Virendra Kumar Jaiswal, learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the record.
Several submissions assailing the truthfulness of the allegations levelled against the accused have been placed forth by the counsel for the applicant. False implication has been pleaded. Counsel has also drawn the attention of the Court to the bail orders dated 19.08.2017, 10.10.2017 and 23.12.2017 passed with regard to co-accused Vimal, Kamlesh and Rajesh by different Benches of this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nso. 2828 of 2016, 34439 of 2017 and 50702 of 2017 respectively. Submission is that the case of the accused has no substantial difference with that of the co-accused who has already been released on bail, and therefore, on principles of parity also the accused should be released on bail. It has also been submitted that the applicant is languishing in jail since 14.11.2015.
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 Ram Niranjan, involved in Case Crime No. B.A. No. 70 of 2018, Case Crime No. 452 of 2015, under sections 302, 323 and 504 IPC, P.S. Sarai Inayat, Disrict Allahabad be released on bail 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:-

(iv) THE APPLICANT SHALL REMAIN PRESENT, IN PERSON, BEFORE THE TRIAL COURT ON DATES FIXED FOR (1) OPENING OF THE CASE, (2) FRAMING OF CHARGE AND (3) RECORDING OF STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 313 CR.P.C. IF IN THE OPINION OF THE TRIAL COURT ABSENCE OF THE APPLICANT IS DELIBERATE OR WITHOUT SUFFICIENT CAUSE, THEN IT SHALL BE OPEN FOR THE TRIAL COURT TO TREAT SUCH DEFAULT AS ABUSE OF LIBERTY OF BAIL AND PROCEED AGAINST HIM IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW.
(v) THE TRIAL COURT MAY MAKE ALL POSSIBLE EFFORTS/ENDEAVOUR AND TRY TO CONCLUDE THE TRIAL WITHIN A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE APPLICANT.
