Hon'ble Shekhar Kumar Yadav,J.
Supplementary affidavit has been filed today, is taken on record.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the material available on record.
This bail application under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed by the applicant seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 239 of 2021, under Section 399 IPC, Police Station Chakeri, District Kanpur Nagar.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. From the possession of the applicant, one piece gent's yellow ring and Rs.3780 has been recovered. The recovered amount is the own money of the applicant. The alleged recovery that has been shown is false and fabricated. There is no public witness of the alleged recovery. He further submits that applicant is having criminal history of three cases in which he is on bail and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. The applicant is in jail since 13.03.2021.
On the other hand, learned A.G.A. opposes the application for bail.
Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, perusal of record and considering the complicity of accused, severity of punishment as well as totality of facts and circumstances, at this stage without commenting on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case for bail.
