Order
23/02/2022
The present bail cancellation application has been filed under
Section 439 (2) Cr.P.C. against the order dated 24.11.2020 passed
by this Court.
Learned counsel for the petitioner-complainant submitted
that after his release on bail, the accused-respondent No.2
threatened the complainant and his other family members to
settle the dispute and hence, the benefit of bail extended to him
deserves to be recalled in view of misuse of liberty. He, in support
(2 of 4)
[CRLBC-35/2021]
of his submissions, relied upon prevention action dated
20.02.2021 taken by SHO, Police Station Kathumar, District Alwar
under Section 151 CrPC.
Learned Public Prosecutor submitted, on instruction from Mr.
Suresh Kumar, SHO, Police Station Kathumar, District Alwar that
the accused-respondent No.2 is complying with the conditions on
which he was released on bail under Section 151 CrPC.
Learned counsel for the accused-respondent submitted that
proceedings under Section 151 CrPC were carried out in highly
illegal and arbitrary manner dehors the statutory provision. He
submitted that neither there was any complaint against him by the
complainant nor, the proceedings under Section 151 CrPC reveal
statement either of complainant or of any independent witness or
even of the police personnel recorded therein. He submitted that
though order-sheet of the Office of Sub-Divisional Magistrate,
Kathumar dated 20.02.2021 shows proceedings having been
carried out under Section 111 CrPC but, no such order is available
on record. Drawing attention of this Court towards a Division
Bench judgment of Hon’ble High Court of Delhi dated 01.11.2018
in case of Aldanish Rein Vs. State of NCT of Delhi & Anr. in
Writ Petition (Criminal) No.2039/2018, learned counsel
submitted that the mandatory procedural requirement under
Section 151 CrPC was not followed in the present case and
therefore the benefit of bail extended to the petitioner cannot be
cancelled only on account of proceedings under Section 151 CrPC.
Heard. Considered.
A perusal of the original record of the complaint
No.18/34/2021 filed by SHO, Police Station Kathumar under
Section 151 CrPC does not reveal any complaint by the petitioner
(3 of 4)
[CRLBC-35/2021]
herein as stated in the memo of bail cancellation application. It
also does not reflect that statement of either the complainant or
any independent witness or even of the police personnel, who are
stated to have witnessed the incident, were recorded. The original
record does not contain any order passed under Section 111 CrPC
as mentioned in the order dated 20.02.2021. A Division Bench of
the Delhi High Court has, in case of Aldanish Rein (supra), held
as under:
“(v) No order of remanding a person to a judicial
custody can be passed by the SEM without satisfying
himself:
(a) That the person arrested has been informed
of his constitutional rights under Articles 20, 21 and
22 of the Constitution. The SEM should himself explain
or have it explained to the person in his presence in a
language understood by that person of the
aforementioned constitutional rights.
