Court No. - 50
Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 24746 of 2021
Applicant :- Lalluram Verma Opposite Party :- State Of U.P Counsel for Applicant :- Laxmi Narayan Rathour
Hon'ble Arvind Kumar Mishra-I,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State of U.P and perused the material available on record.
By way of the instant application, the applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No.1362 of 2020, arising out of Case Crime No. 227 of 2020, under Sections - 342, 420, 354 and 506 I.P.C., Police Station Kotwali Jalaun, District - Jalaun.
Urge has been made on behalf of the applicant that the applicant has no concern with the offence alleged against him. The applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in case. No offence has been committed by the applicant. In case, the applicant is admitted to bail, there is no possibility of his absconding or misusing the liberty of bail. The applicant has no criminal history and is languishing in jail since 05.04.2021.
Per contra, learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and has submitted that as per the allegations contained in the first information report, obviously a case is made out to the extent that money was tried to be extract by none other than the applicant by putting the victim under great mental pressure in the name of one aspect or the other aspect of some sorcery.
Considered the rival submissions, perused the material brought on record and the enormity of the offence. No good ground is made out for bail.
Consequently, the instant bail application is rejected , at this stage.
It is made clear that observation made in this order shall have no bearing on the merits of the case.
