Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. – 44963 of 2019

Hon’ble Siddharth,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as the learned AGA for the State and perused the material placed on record.
The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Brijesh, with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 164 of 2019, under Sections 377 IPC and 3/4 POCSO Act, Police Station Aurangabad, District- Bulandshahar, during pendency of trial.
It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case with some ulterior motive. No external injury has been found on the private part of the victim. Only tenderness and redness has been found, which can be attributed other causes also. There is no mark of injury on the body of the victim, evidencing commission of any unnatural offence. The applicant has no criminal history to his credit and he is languishing in jail since 19.6.2019. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserves any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail.
Having considered the submissions of the parties noted above, larger mandate of the SectionArticle 21 of the Constitution of India and the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh Vs. State of U.P. and another, reported in (2018) 3 SCC 22 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, let the applicant involved in the aforesaid crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions that :-
1. The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence by intimidating/ pressurizing the witnesses, during the investigation or trial.
2. The applicant shall cooperate in the trial sincerely without seeking any adjournment.
3. The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity or commission of any crime after being released on bail.
In case, of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
Identity, status and residence proof of the applicant and sureties be verified by the court concerned before the bonds are accepted.
