¶5

Supplementary affidavit filed today is taken on record.

¶6

Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned Additional Government Advocate for the State of U.P. and perused the record.

¶7

The present bail application has been filed by the applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No. 213 of 2022, under Sections 406, 323, 316, 504, 506 and 34 IPC, Police Station- Kotwali, District - Mainpuri.

¶8

Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present crime. It is submitted that applicant is a lady and the informant has dragged the applicant unnecessarily just to harass her. He further submitted that the applicant has no other criminal history. It is also submitted that there is no apprehension that after being released on bail, she may flee from the course of law or may, otherwise, misuse the liberty of bail and the applicant is in jail since 8.6.2022 and the possibility of conclusion of trial in near future is very bleak.

¶9

Learned A.G.A. has, however, opposed the prayer for grant of bail, but he has not disputed the above contention made by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant.

¶10

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, perusing the record and also considering the nature of allegations, arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the parties and keeping in mind that co-accused has already been released on bail by this Court and without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I find it to be a fit case for granting bail.

¶11

¶12

(i) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that she

¶14

(ii) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against her under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code.

¶15

(iii) In case, the applicant misuse the liberty of bail during trial and in order to secure her presence, proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C. is issued and the applicant fail to appear before the court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against her, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A of the Indian Penal Code.

¶17

Any violation of above conditions will be treated misuse of bail and learned Court below will be at liberty to pass appropriate order in the matter regarding cancellation of bail.
