The present application under Section 528 BNSS has been filed to quash the orders dated 24.03.2024 and 7.10.2024 passed by Additional Civil Judge (Sr. Division), II, Jaunpur, in Criminal Case No.21274 of 2018 (State v. Om Prakash Pandey), arising out of Case Crime No. 87 of 2018, under Sections 147, 323, 504, 506, 427, 352, 452 of I.P.C., Police Station- Sujanganj, District- Jaunpur, whereby the non-bailable warrant has been issued.
Learned counsel for the applicants submits that applicant was not arrested during the course of investigation and the charge-sheet have been submitted against him. It is further submitted that the offence is punishable up to 7 years imprisonment. Upon considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the prayer made by learned counsel for the applicant is, hereby, refused. After some arguments, learned counsel for the applicant wants to withdraw the application with liberty to file a regular bail application before the court of competent jurisdiction. In case bail application is filed by the learned counsel for the applicant, the same shall be decided in the light of the observations made in the judgment rendered by the Supreme Court in Satender Kumar Antil Vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, (2022) 10 SCC 51, wherein the Supreme Court considering the category(A) as mentioned in the paragraph no. 2, bail applications of such accused against which charge-sheet has been submitted on
appearance may be decided without the accused being taken in physical custody or by granting interim bail till the bail application is decided. It has been observed that at the cost of repetition, we wish to state that, in category A, one would expect a better exercise of discretion on the part of the court in favour of the accused. The application stands disposed of with the aforesaid liberty.
