Hon'ble Ramesh Sinha,J.
Heard Sri Kuldeep Kumar, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri R.K. Maurya, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that the recovery of 175 fruity bags are said to have been made from the joint possession of the applicant and three accused persons, which is false one. In fact, no such recovery was made. He submits that only on account of suspicion the applicant has been implicated by the police. When the applicant was arrested, one criminal case of similar nature was also slapped on him. The applicant is in jail since 28.05.2014 and has previous no criminal history.
Learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail .
Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of punishment, submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail.
Let the applicant Akshaya Gupta involved in Case Crime No. 248 of 2014, under Sections 411 IPC, P.S.-Daurala, District Meerut be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice:-

(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 of the Indian Penal Code.
(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. is issued and the 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 of the Indian Penal Code.
