Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned
Additional Government Advocate representing the
State and perused the record of the case.
By means of this application, the applicant, who is
involved in Case Crime No. 654 of 2018, under
Sections 452, 324 and 308 IPC, police station
Khair, district Aligarh, is seeking enlargement on
bail during the trial.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant
that the applicant is absolutely innocent has
falsely been implicated in the present case with
some ulterior motive. It is further submitted by
learned counsel for the applicant that on
13.10.2018 informant Laxman Gautam lodged
F.I.R. against ten persons including the applicant
alleging that in the incident dated 12.10.2018 two
persons namely, Devicharan Gautam and Savitri
Devi Gautam received injuries. Injury report
reveals that injuries are caused by hard and blunt
object. Injury No. 1 of Devicharan Gautam is
grievous in nature. Five injuries have been
received to Savitri Devi, out of which, injury No. 1
was kept under observation, but no supplementary
report has been prepared. It is next submitted by
learned counsel for the applicant that from the
side of applicant also F.I.R. was lodged on
16.10.2018 as Case Crime No. 658 of 2018 under
Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 324, 452, 504 and
506 IPC, police station Khair, district Aligarh

Gautam and Smt. Savitri for the occurence took
place on 12.10.2018, in which two persons,
namely, Tejpal (brother of the applicant) and
Madhav (cousin of the applicant) received injuries.
Injury No. 1 of injured, Madhav is grievous in
nature as his left parietal bone has been found
fractured. It is next contended that there is no
chance of the applicant of fleeing away from the
judicial process or tampering with the prosecution
evidence. It is also submitted that the applicant
has no criminal antecedent to his credit and is
facing detention since 12.2.2020. Learned counsel
for the applicant lastly submitted that if the
applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the
liberty of bail and will cooperate in the early
disposal of the case.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail
prayer of the applicant by contending that the
innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at
pre trial stage therefore, the applicant does not
deserve any indulgence. In case the applicant is
released on bail he will misuse the liberty of bail.
Keeping in view the nature of the offence,
evidence, complicity of the accused, submissions
of the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the
view that the applicant has made out a fit case for
bail. Hence, the bail application is hereby allowed.
Let the applicant Manoj be released on bail in the
aforesaid case crime number on furnishing a
personal bond and two sureties each in the like
amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned
