Judgement Date : 4 March, 2022
THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH MCRC No. 3586/2022 (GAURAV RAJPOOT Vs STATE OF M.P.)
Gwalior, Dated : 04/03/2022
Shri Nirmal Sharma, Counsel for applicant.
Shri C.P. Singh, Counsel for State.
Case diary is available.
This first application under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. has been
filed for grant of bail.
The applicant has been arrested on 05.10.2021 in connection
with Crime No.18/2021 registered at Police Station - Crime Branch,
District Gwalior for offence under Sections 8/21 and 8/29 of NDPS
Act.
It is submitted by Counsel for the applicant that according to
the prosecution case, the applicant had sold contraband to the co-
accused persons. It is submitted that he has been implicated on the
basis of memorandum of co-accused persons. The applicant has also
filed a copy of the order dated 13.08.2021 passed by CJM, Mainpuri
which is to the effect that in Crime No.781/2020, the surety had filed
an application to withdraw his surety bond because the conduct of
applicant was not good and he was always intending to leave the
Court jurisdiction, and accordingly, the surety bond furnished by the
surety were recalled and the applicant was sent to jail. The applicant
is in jail from 05.10.2021. The Trial is likely to take sufficiently long
time.
THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH MCRC No. 3586/2022 (GAURAV RAJPOOT Vs STATE OF M.P.)
Per contra, the application is vehemently opposed by Counsel
for the State.
It is clear that even according to the person who had stood
surety in another case, the conduct of applicant is not good, therefore,
possibility of the applicant running away from the Court in order to
avoid the trial cannot be rulled out.
Under these circumstances, he can be granted bail only on the
stringent condition of furnishing cash surety. The co-accused persons
Sunil Jatav and Bharat Jatav were arrested with 300 + 300 = 600
grams of smack, and according to the prosecution, it was the
applicant who had sold the smack.
Accordingly, without commenting on the merits of the case, the
application is allowed. It is directed that the applicant shall be
released on bail on furnishing cash surety of Rs.10,00,000/- (Rupees
Ten Lacs Only) to the satisfaction of the Trial Court/Committal
Court to appear before the Court on the dates given by the concerned
Court.
This order shall remain effective till the end of trial but in case
of bail jump, it shall become ineffective.
It is made clear that single default in appearance before the
Trial Court, or in case of registration of new offence, this bail order
shall automatically come to an end and the cash surety so furnished
THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH MCRC No. 3586/2022 (GAURAV RAJPOOT Vs STATE OF M.P.)
by the applicant shall automatically stand forfeited without any
reference to the Court.
In the light of the judgment passed by the Supreme Court in the
case of Aparna Bhat & Ors. vs. State of M.P. passed on 18/3/2021
in Criminal Appeal No.329/2021, the intimation regarding grant of
bail be sent to the complainant.
Certified copy as per rules.
