Counsel for Applicant :- Sushil Kumar Shukla Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J.
Heard Sri Sushil Kumar Shukla, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Mohd. Shoaib Khan, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Shibbu @ Kuldeep with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 328 of 2016, under Section 307 I.P.C., Police Station- Singhawali Ahir, District- Baghpat, during pendency of trial.
It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. As per the allegations made in the F.I.R., while the police personnel was on patrolling duty and checking the vehicle, four persons were coming on two motorcycle and they were stopped but they tried to ran away by firing upon the police personnel but no injury of fire-arm was received by the Police personnel. It is next submitted that the recovery shown by the Police is false and planted and is not supported by any independent witness. The applicant is languishing in jail since 23.10.2016. The criminal history of applicant has been explained in paragraph no.14 of the affidavit accompanying the bail application. In case, he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in the trial by all means. Lastly, it is submitted that there is no chance of applicant fleeing away from judicial process or tampering with the witnesses.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer 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 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 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 :-
