Counsel for Applicant :- Arvind Kumar Singh,Neeharika Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Shri Ram Raj Pandey, learned counsel, holding brief of
learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Ajay Singh, learned AGA for the State-respondents and perused the record. This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant, Reena Dalal, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 1036 of 2024, under Sections 3(1), 3(2), 3(3), 4, 5(1)A, 5(1)B, 5(1)C 5(2), 6B, 29, 23, 25 of P.C.P.N.D.T. (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994 & 318(4), 61(2) of B.N.S., Police Station- Baghpat, District- Baghpat.
Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. She has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 19.12.2024.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that similarly placed co- accused, namely, Rahul Bhati and Pradeep Kumar Tyagi have already been enlarged on bail of this Court by orders dated 21.03.2025 and 08.04.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 2857 of 2025 and 3549 of 2025 respectively, copy of the bail orders produced by learned counsel for the applicant are taken on record. He further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of co-accused, Rahul Bhati and Pradeep Kumar Tyagi who have already been enlarged on bail, he is also entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. She has no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of her fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of
accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the accused-applicant, Reena Dalal, involved in above mentioned case crime number be released on bail on her executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant will not tamper with the evidence.
2. The applicant will not indulge in any criminal activity.
3. The applicant will not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses and co-operate in the trial.
4. The applicant will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the trial court unless his personal appearance is exempted through counsel by the court concerned. In the event of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the court below will be at liberty to proceed to cancel her bail.
