Order on Criminal Misc. Bail Application

¶8

The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Lalit, with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 138 of 2020, under Sections 147, 149, 272, 273, 307 IPC and 60 Excise Act, Police Station Kithore, District- Meerut, during pendency of trial.

¶9

Submission is that implication of applicant is under Section 307 IPC. Causing injury or not causing the same is not relevant. Intention to cause murder is relevant. Intention of the applicant was only to evade arrest by the police and he fired only to frighten the police. For implication under Section 307 I.P.C. intention forms necessary ingredient of offence in any particular case. It necessarily precedes the act and should be discernible from the allegations on record, which is lacking in this case.

¶10

It has been submitted that Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 has been enacted by the legislature and hence the implication of the applicant under section 272, 273 I.P.C. is unjustified. Offence under section 60 of Excise Act is bailable and trible by Magistrate. False recovery has been alleged. The applicant is languishing in jail since 07.4.2020.

¶11

Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant.
