ABLAPL No.9083 of 2017
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
The petitioners in this case having been implicated in Ranpur P.S. Case No.115 of 2017
corresponding to G.R. Case No.115 of 2017, pending in court of the learned J.M.F.C., Ranpur fo
r alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 294, 323, 354-B, 506 read with Sect
ion 34 of IPC, have filed this petition for their release on pre-arrest bail.
Regard being had to the facts and submissions made, especially the nature of accusation
, circumstances in which the offence alleged to have been committed, factum of substantial pro
gress in the investigation and hardly any material being there to suggest that the petitioners
shall abscond or tamper with the prosecution evidence, if allowed to go on pre-arrest bail, I
am of the view that this is a fit case to enlarge the petitioners on pre-arrest bail.
Hence, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection
with the aforesaid case, they be released on bail by the arresting officer on such terms and c
onditions as he may deem just and proper including the condition that they shall cooperate wit
h the investigation.
Accordingly, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands allowed and the ABLAPL is disposed
of.
Issue urgent certified copy as per rules.
