Order On Board

¶120

04.10.2016

¶121

Since all the aforesaid bail applications are in similar nature of offences, they are heard analogously and are being disposed of by this common order.

¶122

These are the first bail applications filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime Nos. 117/2013, 42/2015, 31/2015, 36/2015, 116/2013, 85/2013, 120/2013, 39/2015, 118/2013, 119/2013, 43/2015, 44/2015, 37/2015, 84/2013, 41/2015, 34/2015, 35/2015, 33/2015 & 38/2015 respectively registered at Police Station- Masturi, District Bilaspur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B, 201 of Indian Penal Code.

¶123

As per the prosecution case, on an enquiry made by the Additional Collector on 11.03.2013, seven cases were registered against different accused persons which pertains to sale of land at village Bhadaura wherein it is alleged that the applicant in conspiracy with other persons of the village i.e. Sarpanch, Up-Sarpanch & Registrar had given the 22 point enquiry favorable and on that basis sales were executed. It is alleged that the present applicant was in possession of few of the seal which were being used for giving No Objection on 22 point enquiry and he also executed sale deed in two cases though he was not the owner of the land.

¶124

Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that after purchase of the land, when enquiries were made, the main allegations were attributed to Kallu Singh who was the husband of Mamta Singh as she being the Sarpanch was operated by Kallu Singh. He further submits that the present applicant was some time worked in the

¶125

Panchayat and though the allegations were attributed no seal was recovered from him, which would be evident from the statement of Panch Kumar, Kotwar and Madan Lal and only on the basis of oral statement, the applicant has been inculpated. He further submits that the charge sheet in this case has been filed and no further investigation is necessary; therefore, the applicant may be released on bail.

¶126

Learned State counsel was directed to make submission as to whether the applicant was arrayed as accused when the initial charge sheet was filed, the State counsel submits that the applicant was not arrayed as accused, but subsequently by an order of the Magistrate, the applicant was arrayed as an accused. He further submits that in 2013, seven cases were registered and in 2015 after order of the Judicial Magistrate, fourteen cases were registered; therefore, the applicant may not be released on bail.

¶127

Perused the case diary, documents & statement of Panch Kumar and Mandan Lal. Considering the facts & circumstances, nature of allegations attributed which appears to be documentary in nature and the fact that applicant is in jail since 23.03.2016, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail.

¶128

Accordingly, all the bail applications filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is allowed.

¶129

It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each with one surety each in all cases in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, for his appearance as and when directed.
