HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE FARJAND ALI Judgment / Order
21/03/2022
1. The present bail application has been filed by the petitioners
Sachin S/o Harish Chand and Lokendra @ Lokesh S/o Arab Singh under
Section 438 Cr.P.C. in connection with FIR No.262/2017 registered at
Police Station Atalband, Bharatpur for the offence(s) under Sections
363, 366-A of IPC.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that as a matter of
fact, in this case, after investigation, a negative final report came to be
submitted before the Court below, wherein, the complainant made a
protest, therefore, the learned Trial Judge initiated an inquiry under
Sections 200 and 202 of Cr.P.C. and after recording of the statements of
the witnesses, it took cognizance of the offence and issued warrant of
arrest against the petitioners and one Deepak vide order dated
12.07.2021.
3. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail
application.
(2 of 2) [CRLMB-2285/2022]
4. Learned counsel for the complainant has also vehemently opposed
the bail plea by submitting that it is a case of kidnap and molestation of
a minor, therefore, the petitioners are not entitled to be released on
anticipatory bail. The grounds of negative final report reached by the
Investigating Agency were discarded by the learned Court below and
thus, it committed no error in passing the order dated 12.07.2021. He
further submits that the said order dated 12.07.2021 has not been
assailed by the accused-petitioners.
5. Considering the contentions put-forth by the counsel for the
parties and taking into account the totality of facts and circumstances of
the case and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case,
this court deems it just and proper to allow the anticipatory bail
application.
6. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is allowed. The
S.H.O/I.O/Arresting Officer, Police Station Atalband, Bharatpur in F.I.R.
No. 262/2017 is directed that in the event of arrest of the petitioners,
they shall be released on bail, provided each of them furnishes a
personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties in the sum of
Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the S.H.O/I.O/Arresting Officer
of the concerned Police Station on the following conditions:-
(i) that the petitioners shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required;
(ii) that the petitioners 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 facts to the court or any police officer, and
(iii) that the petitioners shall not leave India without previous permission of the court.
