Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:111308 Court No. - 65 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 41818 of 2024 Applicant :- Rambali Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Ramji Shukla Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Jitendra Singh Hon'ble Krishan Pahal,J.
1. List has been revised. None is present on behalf of the informant.
2. Rejoinder and supplementary affidavits filed by learned counsel for the applicant today is taken on record.
3. Heard Sri Sita Ram Nigam, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Sunil Kumar, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
4. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 0146 of 2024, under Sections 498A, 304B IPC and Section 3/4 of D.P. Act, Police Station Kurara, District Hamirpur, during the pendency of trial.
5. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has nothing to do with the said offence. The FIR is delayed by 28 days and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. It is next stated that PW-1 has been examined in the court during trial and he has completely resiled from his earlier statement and has been cross-examined by the public prosecutor after declaring him hostile. There is no likelihood of conviction of the applicant in the present case.
6. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 23.03.2024 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
7. Per contra, learned AGA has vehemently opposed the bail application but unable to dispute the submissions raised by the
learned counsel for the applicant and also the fact that the
applicant has no criminal history.
8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case,
submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that PW-1 has not supported the prosecution story, I find it a fit case to release the applicant on bail. The bail application is allowed.
9. Let the applicant- Rambali, who is involved in aforementioned case 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 subject to following conditions. Further, before issuing the release order, the sureties be verified. i) The applicant shall not tamper with the evidence during trial. ii) The applicant shall not pressurise/intimidate with the prosecution witnesses. iii) The applicant shall appear before the trial court on the date fixed.
10. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
11. It is made clear that observations made in granting bail to the applicant shall not in any way affect the learned trial Judge in forming his independent opinion based on the testimony of the witnesses.
