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, Vishwajeet Pandey alias Santi with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 15 of 2019, under Sections 124-A, 153-A, IPC, section 66 I.T. Act Police Station Pakri, District- Ballia, during pendency of trial.
It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. The allegation against the applicant is that he has posted 'Whatsapp status' as "Pakistan Zindabad" and also made certain derogatory remarks against the country. The applicant is languishing in jail since 20.2.2019, who is not a previous convict. 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 prayer for bail of the applicant on the ground that material collected by the investigating officer there is incriminating material against him.
Having considered the submissions of the parties, larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India 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 Vishwajeet Pandey alias Santi 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 :-
