Heard counsel for the applicant and Sri Dinesh Tiwari, learned A.G.A. for the State-opposite party.

¶8

The instant bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. has been filed with the prayer to enlarge the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 326 of 2022, under Sections 147, 149, 332, 353, 504 & 307 of I.P.C. and Section 2/3 of Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, Police Station Bardah, District Azamgarh during the pendency of the trial.

¶9

Counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant was not named in the first information report and has been falsely implicated in the instant case. The name of the applicant surfaced during investigation. At this stage, there is no cogent evidence to link the applicant with the offence. The criminal history of the applicant has been explained in para no. 2 of the supplementary affidavit. The applicant is in jail since 20.06.2023, and if he is released on bail, he will not misuse the said liberty.

¶10

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record.

¶11

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and after perusal of the record, this Court prima facie finds that the applicant was not named in the first information report. The name of the applicant surfaced during investigation. At this stage, there is no substantial evidence against the applicant. Further, the applicant has remained confined for more than five months and after submission of the charge-sheet there is no hope of early conclusion of trial, and no reasonable apprehension has been brought to the fore by the State that the applicant, if enlarged on bail, would either tamper with the evidence or delay the trial or intimidate the witness, therefore,

¶12

without commenting on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail.

¶13

Let the applicant- Dilnawaj @ Kallu , involved in the aforesaid case, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two heavy sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Court concerned subject to the conditions that he:

¶14

(i) shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court;

¶15

(ii) shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; and,

¶16

(iii) shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses.

¶17

In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to move bail cancellation application before this Court.
