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. 380 of 2024, under sections 118(1), 352, 109, 333, 351(2) of the B.N.S., Police Station-Mailani, DistrictLakhimpur Kheri.

As per contents of F.I.R., the incident is said to have taken place on 28th November, 2024 at about 8.00 P.M. when the applicant alongwith co-accused is said to have attacked the brother of informant and inflicted serious injuries upon him.

¶10

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 to all the accused persons including the present applicant and the injured persons have also not assigned any specific role to the applicant. He next added that the injuries are simple in nature, as is evident from the medical report and the applicant has two cases criminal history, which has been explained and the chargesheet has been filed and as such, there is no possibility that the applicant would tamper the evidences or would threaten the witnesses. He submits that the applicant is a law abiding citizen and he is languishing in jail since 29-11-2024. 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.

¶11

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.

¶12

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 29-11-2024; there is no previous criminal history of the applicant; the chargesheet has been filed and as such, there is no possibility that the applicant would tamper the evidences or would threaten the witnesses 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.

¶13

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.
