¶5

Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J.

¶6

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record.

¶7

The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant with the prayer to release him on bail during the trial in Case Crime No. 150 of 2024, under Sections 307 IPC and Section 4/25 Arms Act, Police Station Pachpedwa, District Balrampur.

¶8

Contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the instant matter due to ulterior motive. He submits that allegation in the First Information Report is that applicant has attacked upon the injured with knife, though there is no injury on the body of injured as stated in the First Information Report. In support of his contention, learned counsel for the applicant has drawn attention of this Court towards Annexre no. 3 of the bail application i.e. injury report which shows that there are three injuries on the body of the injured which are lacerated wounds and as per opinion of doctor, the same has been caused with hard and blunt object and this demolishes the prosecution story. He added that the chargesheet has been filed and the applicant has no previous criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 08.07.2024 and he undertakes that he will not misuse the liberty of bail, if granted and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. Thus, submission is that the applicant may be enlarged on bail.

¶9

Per contra, learned AGA appearing for the State has opposed the contentions aforesaid and submits that the applicant has committed offence by attacking upon the injured by knife, who received injuries and as such, he is not entitled for bail.

¶10

Having considered the submissions of learned counsels for the parties and after perusal of the record, it transpires that as per allegation in the FIR, the applicant has attacked upon the injured with knife but as per doctor opinion, the injuries are caused by hard and blunt object; the chargesheet has been filed

¶11

in the matter; the applicant has no previous criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 08.07.2024 and he has undertaken that he will not misuse the liberty of bail, if granted and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.

¶12

Considering the submissions of learned counsels for the parties, nature of accusation and severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment and considering larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case of bail.

¶13

Let the applicant- Ram Singh involved in the aforementioned crime be released on bail, on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned, with the following conditions:-

¶14

(1) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence by intimidating/pressurizing the witnesses, or otherwise during the investigation or trial;

¶16

(3) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C.; and

¶18

The identity, status and residential proof of sureties will be verified by the court concerned and in case of breach of any of the above conditions, the court below shall be at liberty to cancel the bail and send the applicant to prison.
