HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD
?Court No. - 77
Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 11270 of 2021
Applicant :- Mohd. Harun
Opposite Party :- State of U.P.
Counsel for Applicant :- Mazhar Ullah
Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Rajesh Kumar Mishra
Hon'ble Pankaj Bhatia,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State, Shri Rajesh Kumar Mishra, counsel for the informant and perused the material placed on record.
The present bail application has been filed by the applicant with a prayer to enlarge him on bail in Case Crime No. 136 of 2020, under Section 307 IPC, P.S. Bhot, District Rampur.
Counsel for the applicant argues that the allegations contained in the FIR are not corroborated with the medical report, which is on record as Annexure-8, which shows the injuries are simple in nature. He further argues that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and is in custody since 4.12.2020.
Per contra, learned A.G.A. as well as counsel for the informant have opposed the bail prayer of the applicant by contending that there is no reason to falsely implicate the applicant, therefore, he does not deserve any benevolence. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 4.12.2020 and there is nothing on record to demonstrate that if the applicant is enlarged on bail would affect the trial adversely as well as considering the ratio of judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Data Ram Singh Vs. State of U.P. and Others, 2018 (3) SCC 32, without expressing any opinion on merit of the case, the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail.
Let the applicant Mohd. Harun involved in aforesaid case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two local sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the following conditions :-
1. The applicant will attend and co-operate the trial proceedings pending before the court concerned on the date fixed after release.
2. He will not tamper with the witnesses.
3. He will not indulge in any illegal activities during the bail period.
4. The party shall file computer generated copy of such order downloaded from the official website of High Court, Allahabad.
5. The concerned Court shall verify the authenticity of such computerized copy of the order from the official website of High Court, Allahabad.
In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
It is clarified that the observations, if any, made in this order are strictly confined to the disposal of this bail application and must not be construed to have any reflection on the ultimate merits of the case.
Counsel for the informant Shri Rajesh Kumar Mishra requests that directions be issued for expeditious trial.
The request is accepted.
The Trial Court is directed to take steps for expeditious disposal of case without granting any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
Order Date :- 17.3.2021
