Hon'ble Shri Justice Rakesh Mohan Pandey Order On Board
05.08.2022
Heard.
1. M.Cr.C. No. 9783/2022 and M.Cr.C. No. 9785/2022 both are arising
out of same crime number, therefore, they are being decided by this
common order.
2. These two bail applications are filed under Section 439 of Code of
Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 in connection with Crime No. 215 of
2022 registered at Police Station - Balod, District- Balod (C.G.) for
offence under section 294, 452, 506, 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The case of the prosecution is that on 05.05.2022, due to some
previous enmity, co-accused Bhupendra Sahu @ Pappu Sahu started
abusing the complainant and when she came out of her house, two
other co-accused persons, who are applicants herein reached on the
spot and they also abused the complainant. Bhupendra Sahu
assaulted the complainant by the means of wooden plank, on such
complaint, the police registered the offence as mentioned above.
4. The learned First Additional Session Judge, Balod while considering
the application filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. by all the three
accused persons allowed the application of main accused Bhupendra
Sahu @ Pappu Sahu, whereas, rejected the bail application of present
applicants on the ground that there are 7 criminal antecedents of these
accused persons.
5. The learned counsel for the applicants submits that he has filed
judgment of some of the cases in which both the accused persons
have been acquitted on the basis of compromise between the
applicants and the complainants of those cases. He further submits
that the main accused Bhupendra Sahu has been released on bail by
the Court below. He also submits that the applicants never entered into
house of the complainant, therefore, the section 452 of IPC is not
made-out at all and other sections are bailable and Charge-sheet has
been filed. The applicants are in jail since 15.06.2022, therefore, they
shall be released on bail.
6. On the other hand learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application.
7. Considering the fact that the main accused has been enlarged on bail
by the learned Lower Court, charge-sheet has been filed, applicants
are jail since 15.06.2022 and out of seven cases in most of the cases
the applicants have been acquitted by the Jurisdictional Competent
Courts and there is no allegation against the present applicants
regarding entrance in the house of complainant, therefore, I am
inclined to grant bail to the applicants. Accordingly, the bail applications
are allowed.
8. It is directed that the applicants shall be released on each of them
furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one surety to
the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, they shall be released on
bail on the following conditions:-
(a) They shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such fact to the Court,
(b) They shall not act in any manner which will be prejudicial to fair and expeditious trial, and
(c) They shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date given to them by the said Court till disposal of the trial,
(d) They shall not involve themselves in any offence of similar nature in future, if they do so, the bail granted to them shall automatically stands dismissed without further reference to the Bench.
