M.Cr.C.No.35177-2021
THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH, INDORE BENCH
M.Cr.C.No.35177-2021
( Varsingh s/o Mansingh Bhabor vs. State of Madhya Pradesh )
Indore, Dated: 03/08/2021
Heard through Video Conferencing.
Shri O.P. Solanki, learned counsel for the applicant.
Shri Shashwat Seth, learned Panel Lawyer for the
respondent/State.
This is the applicant's first bail application under Section
439 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. He is implicated in
connection with Crime No.255/2012 registered at Police Station-
Jhabua, District- Jhabua (MP) for offence punishable under
Sections 363, 366, 376, 34 of the I.P.C.
The applicant is in jail since 18.06.2021.
The allegation against the applicant is that he also aided in
the commission of the aforesaid offence, which was committed by
the main accused Rakesh.
Counsel for the applicant has submitted that the date of
incident is 30.3.2012 and the applicant has been arrested only on
18.6.2021 as he was not present on the spot and had subsequently
left the place to earn his livelihood. Counsel has further submitted
that all the other co-accused persons have already been acquitted
from the offence as the prosecutrix has clearly stated in her
deposition before the trial court that she had solemnized marriage
with the main accused Rakesh on her own free will. Counsel has
also submitted that no purpose would be served to keep the
M.Cr.C.No.35177-2021
applicant in jail in such circumstances that all the other co-accused
persons have already been acquitted from the offence and it is not
a case where the applicant was absconding from the court of law.
Thus, it is submitted that the applicant be released on bail.
Counsel for the State, on the other hand, has opposed the
prayer and it is submitted that the case diary is not available.
Having considered the rival submissions, on perusal of the
documents filed by the applicant on record which includes the
copy of the judgment rendered by the trial court wherein all the
other co-accused persons have been acquitted from the offence and
so far as the prosecutrix is concerned, she has also not supported
the prosecution case, this Court finds forced with the contention
raised by the counsel for the applicant, the application deserves to
be allowed.
Accordingly, without adverting to the merits of the case, the
application filed by the applicant is hereby allowed. The applicant
is directed to be released on bail upon furnishing a personal bond
in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) with one
solvent surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial
Court for his / her regular appearance before the trial Court during
trial with a condition that he / she shall remain present before the
court concerned during trial and shall also abide by the conditions
enumerated under Section 437 (3) Criminal Procedure Code, 1973.
It is also observed that if the applicant is found to be
M.Cr.C.No.35177-2021
involved in any criminal activities, after his release on bail, then
the present bail order shall stand cancelled without further
reference to this Court; and the State / prosecution will be free to
arrest the accused in the present case also.
This order shall be effective till the end of the trial, however,
in case of bail jump, it shall become ineffective.
Certified copy as per rules.
