1. List has been revised.
2. Heard Sri Digvijay Singh, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Sunil Kumar, learned A.G.A. for the State and also perused the material placed on record.
3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 121 of 2024, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 & 120-B of IPC, Police Station - Mau Darwaza, District - Farrukhabad, during the pendency of trial.
4. As per prosecution story, the applicant along with other family members is stated to have forged the documents by showing false title of the land and had executed the sale-deed in their favour.
5. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The allegations are per se false. There is no registry executed in favour of the applicant, as such, he has nothing to do with the said offence.
6. Learned counsel has also stated that the informant could not furnish any details of any forgery committed in the instant case. The case is triable by Magistrate. The brother of the applicant, who is an Advocate in the Civil Court, Farrukhabad, had all the documents with him. The matter of civil in nature has been converted into criminal case by the informant.
7. Learned counsel has next contended that there is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 30.03.2025 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
8. 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.
9. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case,
submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and also considering the fact that the case is triable by Magistrate, I find it a fit case to release the applicant on bail. The bail application is allowed.
10. Let the applicant- Jay Singh, 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 will not tamper with the evidence during trial. ii) The applicant will not pressurise/intimidate with the prosecution witnesses. iii) The applicant will appear before the trial court on the date fixed.
11. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
12. 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.
