Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
Counter affidavit filed today is taken on record.
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, Rinku with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 697 of 2017, under Sections 363, 366, 376, 323, 504, 506 IPC and 3/4 POCSO Act, Police Station Gandhipark, District- Aligarh, during pendency of trial.
From the perusal of material on record, it appears that victim and the applicant are known to each other and she also stated before the doctor that she has entered into marriage with the applicant two months back. From the medical report, there is no evidence of sexual violence and age of the victim is about 17 years as per report of the doctor. The applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. The applicant is languishing in jail since 17.12.2017. 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 Rinku 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 :-
1. The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence by intimidating/ pressurizing the witnesses, during the investigation or trial.
2. The applicant shall cooperate in the trial sincerely without seeking any adjournment.
3. The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity or commission of any crime after being released on bail.
In case, of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
Identity, status and residence proof of the applicant and sureties be verified by the court concerned before the bonds are accepted.
