Opposite Party :- State Of U.P.
Counsel for Applicant :- Atul Shukla
Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Ajit Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in Case Crime No. 896 of 2019, under Sections 454, 380 and 411 I.P.C., P.S. Kavi Nagar, district-Ghaziabad, is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant was not named in the first information report. His name as an accused in the present case surfaced for the first time during investigation in the confessional statement of co-accused. The recovery which has been shown from the applicant is totally false and fake. There is no public witness of the alleged recovery. Further submission is that all the offences are triable by Court of Magistrate. He lastly submitted that the applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 21.5.2019 and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial.
The prayer for bail has been vehemently opposed by learned A.G.A.
Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of the punishment, submissions of learned counsel for the parties, considering the law laid down in the case of Data Ram Vs. State of U.P. and others, 2018(3) SCC 22 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail during the pendency of the trial.
Let the applicant, Yogesh alias Babu be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned in Case Crime No. 896 of 2019, under Sections 454, 380 and 411 I.P.C., P.S.
