A supplementary affidavit filed by the learned counsel for the
applicant is taken on record.
Heard learned Counsel for the applicant, learned counsel for the
first informant as well as learned A.G.A. and perused the
record.
The accused- applicant is involved in Case Crime No.02 of
2022, under Section 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 147, 328, 386,
368, 302, 201, 120-B I.P.C., Police Station Bariyarpur, District-
Deoria.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that as
per the FIR Arun Kumar Kumar is said to have kidnapped the
complainant and after administering him noxious tablets and by
putting him under threat and pressure, without paying any
consideration got a sale deed executed and the present applicant
is said to have helped him as a tout. The Investigating Officer
found no role of the applicant in the offence and thereafter
moved an application under section 169 Cr.P.C. in the court
which was accepted vide order dated 8.8.82022, the trial court
ordered the applicant to be released on bail on furnishing a
personal bond of Rs. 50,000/0. The applicant is still in jail from
16.1.2022, hence, the prayer for bail is made.
Per contra learned counsel for the first informant opposed the
prayer for bail of the applicant.
From perusal of the supplementary affidavit, it is found that
Dilip Shukla, the I.O., crime branch, Gorakhpur moved an
application before the trial court on 5.8.2022 that during
investigation the applicant was arrested on 16.1.2022 and he is
in jail since then. The primary investigation was done by the
I.O. Ashutosh Kumar and after investigation chargesheet no. A-
54/22 date 12.4.2022 was filed against the applicant and the
investigation was in progress against the rest accused persons
vide order dated 29.3.2022 of Additional Director General of
Police, the investigation was given to him and after
investigation he found that implication of the applicant in the
offence is wrong, so it is not proper to keep the applicant under
detention, hence, the prayer was made to pass an order under
section 169 Cr.P.C. Vide order dated 8.8.2022, the trial court
accepted this application and ordered the applicant to be
released on furnishing personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- The
applicant is in jail till now.
Having heard the submissions of learned counsel for the parties,
considering the seriousness of the charge and the severity of
punishment in case of conviction and the nature of supporting
evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court and without
expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I find it to be a
case of bail.
The bail application is allowed.
Let the applicant Pradyumn Pandey @ Manish Pandey, who is
involved in 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 subject to following
