On completion of the investigation, the applicant was charge- sheeted for the offences punishable under Sections 305(a), 3(5), 331(4) and 317(2) BNS, 2023. 4.

Apart from this, he submits that the applicant is permanent resident of Sapera Basti of District Dehradun and a Rickshaw Driver and a married person having two children. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the recovery as shown is nothing but planted one, since there is no independent witness and there is no videography. 6. He further argued that the charge-sheet has already been filed and the offences are triable by the Magistrate and at this juncture, there is no need of custodial interrogation of the present applicant and the applicant be released on bail. 7. On the other side, Mr. Himanshu Sain, learned Brief Holder have not disputed this fact that the charge-sheet has already been filed, and, furthermore, the applicant is having no previous criminal history and all the offences are triable by the Magistrate. 8. After hearing the arguments as advanced by learned counsel for the parties and further taking into consideration that the charge-sheet has already been filed and the applicant is having no previous criminal history and is languishing in jail since 14.02.2025, therefore, this Court is of the view that the applicants deserve for bail. 9. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 10. Let the applicants, namely, Vikram, be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned. 11. It is made clear that after being released on bail, the applicant shall join the trial Court proceeding on each and every date without seeking any unnecessary adjournment and the trial court is directed to expedite the trial as early as possible. 12. It is also made clear that if the applicant is found to be indulged in any criminal activity, the prosecution is free to move an application for cancelling the bail.
