Hon'ble Shekhar Kumar Yadav,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the
State and perused the material available on record.
This bail application under Section 439 of Code of Criminal
Procedure has been filed by the applicant seeking enlargement
on bail in Case Crime No. 61 of 2021, under Sections 395, 332,
353, 171F, 504 IPC, 7 Criminal Law Amendment Act and 3/4
Public Property Act, Police Station Jagner, District Agra.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has
been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant is
neither named in the first information report nor arrested on the
spot. After the arrest of the applicant, Rs.270/- has been
recovered from his possession, which is his own money. He
further submits that similarly placed co-accused persons,
namely, Puroshotm, Shree Bhagwan, Ram Naresh, Sultan
Singh, Bablu, Vijay and Safaruddin have already been grated
bail vide orders dated 29.07.2021 & 23.07.2021 passed in
Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos.24027 of 2021 and 23445
of 2021. He further submits that since the co-accused have
already been enlarged on bail, the applicant is also entitled for
bail on the ground of parity. The applicant is in jail since
17.04.2021.
On the other hand, learned A.G.A. opposes the application for
bail.
Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, perusal of record
and considering the complicity of accused, severity of
punishment as well as totality of facts and circumstances, at this
stage without commenting on the merits of the case, I find it a
fit case for bail.
Let the applicant-Yogesh, who is involved in aforementioned
case 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 conditions. Further,
before issuing the release order, the sureties be verified.
(i) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not
seek any adjournment on the date fixed for evidence when the witnesses
are present in Court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open
for the Trial Court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in
accordance with law.
(ii) The applicant shall remain present before the Trial Court on each date
fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence,
without sufficient cause, the Trial Court may proceed against him under
Section 229-A IPC.
(iii) In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail during trial and in
order to secure his presence proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C., may
be issued and if applicant fails to appear before the Court on the date fixed
in such proclamation, then, the Trial Court shall initiate proceedings
against him, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A IPC.
(iv) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the Trial Court
on dates fixed for (1) opening of the case, (2) framing of charge and (3)
recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. If in the opinion of the
Trial Court absence of the applicant is deliberate or without sufficient
cause, then it shall be open for the Trial Court to treat such default as
abuse of liberty of bail and proceed against him in accordance with law.
(v) The Trial Court may make all possible efforts/endeavour and try to
conclude the trial within a period of one year after the release of the
applicant.
In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a
ground for cancellation of bail.
It is made clear that observations made in granting bail to the
applicant shall not in any way affect the learned trial Judge in
forming his independent opinion based on the testimony of the
witnesses.
The party shall file computer generated copy of such order
