Hon’ble Vivek Kumar Singh,J.
Under the orders of Hon’ble The Chief Justice dated 24.4.2020 this bail application is listed today in my chamber.
I myself have perused the bail application as well as the accompanying affidavit as well as annexures filed in support thereof.
State has filed Written Submissions through e-mail. It is taken on record.
Perusal of the record shows that several grounds have been mentioned in this bail application in order to prove the innocence of the applicant. It is averred that the applicant has no criminal history and he is in jail since 17.12.2019.
Considering the nature of accusation and the severity of punishment in case of conviction and the nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment, and larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India, the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh v. State of U.P. and another, reported in (2018) 2 SCC 22 and without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I find it to be a case of bail.
