Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and Sri Shailendra Pathak, learned counsel for the complainant.

¶8

It is alleged in the prosecution case that husband of the informant was threatened by the accused Devendra Singh and while doing that land of her husband has been transferred in the name of Devendra Singh and others. Thereafter he was kidnapped and is missing till date. It is further alleged that after the order passed by the State Government in the year 2021, Case Crime No.323 of 2021 under Sections 342, 323, 506, 364 IPC was registered against the accused. It is also alleged that accused Devendra Singh by hatching criminal conspiracy committed fraud and forgery and by making forged signature of her husband, forged death certificate has been issued regarding her husband's death by the Nagar Palika Parishad Bahraich.

¶9

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is Vaccinator in the Nagar Palika Parishad. His job is not to issue or facilitate in issuing any death certificate. Allegation of forgery has been made for the application which was given on behalf of the complainant. It is not a case of the prosecution that death certificate is forged. Forgery on the application is alleged to have been done by the co-accused and not by the applicant. The applicant is innocent and has no criminal history.

¶10

Per contra, learned AGA and learned counsel for complainant has vehemently opposed the bail application and submitted that the applicant has deposited necessary fee for issuing death certificate and has forwarded the alleged application for issuing

death certificate.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the fact that the applicant has no criminal history, the offence is triable by Magistrate, arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, the applicant is in jail since 07.06.2024 and without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.
