Re: Order on Bail Application Heard Sri Amit Rai and Sri Mohd. Samiuzzaman Khan, learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record.
This bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No. 0124 of 2021, under Section 307 IPC, Police Station Loni, District Ghaziabad, during pendency of trial.
It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. As per the first information report, the applicant along with two other co-accused persons namely, Raju and Mustakeem stabbed the nephew of the informant namely, Suaib, as a result thereof, he sustained injuries. It is next contended that no specific role has been assigned to any of the accused as apparent from the statement of the informant and the injured recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. The medical examination of the injured namely, Gulfam was conducted at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Shahdara, Delhi, in which stab wound at around 5x4 cm left at umbilicus, one stab wound of 3x2 cm below and lateral aspect. It is next contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the injury sustained to the injured shows that the injuries are not on the vital part of the body. There is no prospect of trial of the present case being concluded in near future due to heavy dockets. It is lastly contended that the applicant has no other criminal history. He is in jail since 08.02.2021 and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial.
Learned AGA appearing for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts and legal submissions as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.
Having heard submissions of learned counsel of both sides, considering nature of accusation, severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment, larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh v. State of U.P. and another, (2018) 3 SCC 22, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a case of bail.
Let the applicant- Zakir Hussain @ Jonny involved in Case Crime No. 0124 of 2021, under Section 307 IPC, Police Station Loni, District Ghaziabad, be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, with the following conditions:
1. The applicant will attend and co-operate the trial proceedings pending before the court concerned on the date fixed after release.

The identity, status and residential proof of sureties will be verified by the court concerned and in case of breach of any of the above conditions, the court below shall be at liberty to cancel the bail and send the applicant to prison.
It is clarified that the observations, if any, made in this order are strictly confined to the disposal of this bail application and must not be construed to have any reflection on the ultimate merits of the case.
In case of breach of of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
