Hon'ble Rahul Chaturvedi,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the material on record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in case crime no. 321 of 2017, under Sections 302/34, 201 and 342 IPC, P.S. Bhojpur, District Moradabad is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the case hinges upon the broken links of circumstantial evidence, the applicant is not named in the FIR. His name figured up in the extra judicial confessional judicial of one Kailash Prajapati after five days of the incident. Thereafter about 20 days, in the statement of one Sheela Chauhan. The case of last seen was created against the applicant and thereafter on 27.07.2017 one Hero Honda motorcycle was used by the deceased was recovered at the pointing out of the present applicant from the residence of co-accused Vipin Saini. There is no motive to the present applicant who is employee of other co-accused Vipin Saini and has no motive to commit this murder. He lastly submitted that the applicant is in jail since 31.07.2017 is entitled to be enlarged on bail during the pendency of trial.
Per contra learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforementioned facts.
Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned AGA and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for bail.
In view of the above, let the applicant- Vikas Saini be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned in case crime no. 321 of 2017, under Sections 302/34, 201 and 342 IPC, P.S.
