Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J.

¶6

Rejoinder Affidavit filed today on behalf of the applicant is taken on record.

¶7

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

¶8

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. 369 of 2024, under sections 109(1), 333, 115(2), 352, 351(2) of the B.N.S., Police Station-Laherpur, District-Sitapur.

¶9

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 added that the general role has been assigned in the first information report to 3 accused persons including the present applicant and even the injured has also assigned the general role. He next added that the police has segregated the role of the applicant on his confessional statement, which is very weak kind of evidence. He submits that the injuries are on non vital part of the body of the injured and the applicant has no previous criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 24-09-2024. Further submitted that the applicant undertakes that in case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of the same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.

¶10

Per contra, learned AGA appearing for the State has opposed the contentions aforesaid and submits that there are serious allegations against the applicant and as such,he is not entitled for any relief.

¶11

Having heard learned counsels for the parties and after perusal of material placed on record, it transpires that the applicant is languishing in jail since 24-09-2024;the general role has been assigned in the first information report to all other accused persons including the present applicant; there is no previous criminal history of the applicant coupled with the fact that he has undertaken that if he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of the same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.

¶12

Considering the submissions of learned counsel of both sides, 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

¶14
