As per Resolution dated 07.04.2021 of the Committee of this Court for the purpose of taking preventive and remedial measures and for combating the impending threat of Covid-19, this case is being heard by way of virtual mode.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A for the State through video conferencing.
Order on Criminal Misc. Exemption Application This exemption application is allowed.
Order on Criminal Misc. Bail Application The instant bail application has been filed with a prayer to grant bail to the applicant, Rohit, in Case Crime No.241 of 2020, under Sections- 379, 411 I.P.C., Police Station- Bah, District- Agra.
Submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated by the police in this case owing to village politics. The applicant is student of GLA University, Mathura and he has completed his first semester on 26.7.2019. It has been further submitted that the alleged recovered money of Rs.20,000/- from the applicant's house was kept by his father for his school fee. He has further submitted that there is no public witness of the alleged incident and no identification parade was done. He has further submitted that there is no credible and legal evidence against the applicant to connect him with the alleged crime. He has further submitted that there are no chances of applicant's fleeing from the judicial process or tampering with the prosecution evidence and in case the applicant is released on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. The applicant is languishing in jail since 27.1.2021.
Per contra, learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the applicant has criminal history of five cases. Hence, the bail application be rejected.
Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of punishment and considering the rival submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail.
Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
