Counsel for Applicant :- Rudra Kant Mishra Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
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, Shyam Lal Kol with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 204 of 2018, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC and 4/21 U.P. Khan and Khanij Act and Section 3/57/70 U.P. Upkhanij Parihar Act , Police Station Robertsganj, District- Sonebhadra, during pendency of trial.
As per FIR, the applicant is stated to be driver of the vehicle and there is allegation of forging EMM11 for the purpose of transportation of miner minerals. Argument is that the applicant is only a driver and the form was provided by the vehicle owner. The applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. The applicant is languishing in jail since 14.4.2018. He does not have any criminal history to his credit. 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 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 Shyam Lal Kol 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.
