Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 12823 of 2021 Applicant :- Roshan Lal Opposite Party :- State of U.P.
Counsel for Applicant :- Gaurav Kakkar Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Dev Raj Singh
Hon'ble Ajit Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the entire record.
The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in Case Crime No. 397 of 2020 under Sections 323, 504, 304 IPC, Police Station - Holagarh, District - Allahabad with the prayer to enlarge the applicant on bail.
The contention as raised at the Bar by learned counsel for the applicant is that applicant-accused is quite innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted that no specific role of assault was assigned to the present accused. It is also argued that co-accused Brij Lal Prajapati, who after about 27 days of the incident was assigned the specific role by the eye witness Shailesh of causing the sole fatal injury to the deceased, has already been granted bail by another bench of this Court, vide order dated 19.05.2021, passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 20316 of 2021, a copy whereof submitted by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record of this bail application. The present applicant, therefore, deserves for bail as no specific role of assault has been assigned to the present applicant. Lastly, it is argued that the applicant is in jail since 15.12.2020 and that in case applicant is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail. But he accepts the bail parity of the present applicant with co-accused Hani Tyagi @ Priyank Tyagi.
Keeping in view the submission of learned counsel for the parties, period of detention of the applicant and all the attending facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, at this stage, prima facie, a case for bail has been made out.
The prayer for bail is granted. The application is allowed.

(1). The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence and the witnesses are present in Court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law;
(2). The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code;

(4). The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C.
