Hon'ble Rajesh Singh Chauhan,J. 1.Heard Dr. Ajai Pratap Singh Chauhan, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Anant Pratap Singh, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State. 2. As per learned counsel for the applicant, the present applicant (Ramakant Shukla @ Golu) is languishing in jail since 11.11.2024 in Case Crime No.53 of 2024, under Sections 304 & 34 I.P.C., Police Station-Kurebhar, District-Sultanpur. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the present applicant has been falsely implicated in this case as he has not committed any offence as alleged in the prosecution story. 4. Attention has been drawn towards the impugned First Information Report (in short F.I.R.) wherein the allegation has been levelled against the driver of one Car bearing No.UP-32- AV-4295. In the F.I.R., the allegation has been levelled regarding rash and negligent driving by the present applicant. One accident claim petition has been filed by the dependent/ family member of the deceased bearing Claim Petition No.333 of 2024 (Annexure No.4) levelling allegation in respect of rash and negligent driving. The post-mortem report, which has been annexed in the bail application, provides that in the Stomach of the deceased 300ml liquid material having alcohol smell has been found. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the victim received accidental injuries by the Car which was allegedly been driven by the present applicant and if the prosecution story is considered on its face value, this is a case of sheer accident having no motive or intention to kill the victim. The charge- sheet has been filed in this case. The present applicant is having no prior history of any kind whatsoever. He has undertaken on behalf of the present applicant that the applicant shall not
misuse the liberty of bail, if so granted by this Court, and shall abide by all terms and conditions of the bail order and shall cooperate with the trial proceedings properly. 6.
On the other hand, learned Additional Government Advocate has opposed the prayer for bail of the present applicant by submitting that since the role of the present applicant was found in the commission of crime, therefore, he is not entitled for grant of bail, but he could not dispute the aforesaid factual contention of learned counsel for the applicant. 7. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the material available on record; considering the fact that this is a case of sheer accident having no motive or intention to kill the victim; the charge-sheet has been filed and the present applicant is having no prior criminal history and the undertaking that the applicant shall not misuse the liberty of bail and shall abide by all terms and conditions of the bail order and shall cooperate with the trial proceedings properly, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the view that the present applicant may be enlarged on bail. 8. Accordingly, the instant bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant (Ramakant Shukla @ Golu) be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number 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:- (i) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (ii) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A IPC/269 of the B.N.S., 2023.
(iii) In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail during trial and in order to secure his presence proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C./84 of B.N.S.S., 2023 is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A IPC/208 of the B.N.S., 2023. (iv) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C./351 of B.N.S.S., 2023. If in the opinion of the trial court absence of the applicant is deliberate or without sufficient cause, then it shall be open for the trial court to treat such default as abuse of liberty of bail and proceed against him in accordance with law. The present applicant shall not leave the country without prior permission of the Court. .
