Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order on Board 25.02.2020 • The applicant has filed this application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail in connection with Crime No. 275/2019 registered at Police Station : Nandghat, District Bemetara (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 457, 380, 411/34 of the IPC. • The prosecution story in brief is that the complainant Arvind Kurre lodged a report at police station Nandghat, alleging therein that some unknown persons have stolen pesticide, paddy, chana, tivra, CPU Monitor, electronic weighing machine, register and cash of Rs. 25,000/- from his Krishi Kendra situated at Village Mardehi. Based on this, after investigation, offence has been registered against the applicant and he has been arrested.

• Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant

has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. Referring to the Annexure A/2 filed by counsel for the applicant, he would submit that on 10.12.2019 the other co-accused person namely Jittu @ Narendra Yadav has already been granted bail by this Court in MCRC No. 6775/2019. The applicant and he is in jail since 25.09.2019 and he is ready to furnish adequate surety and shall abide by all the conditions and directions, which may be imposed by this Hon'ble Court, therefore, he may be released on bail.

• On the other hand, State counsel strongly opposes the bail application of the applicant.

• I have heard learned counsel for the parties. • Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offence, facts and circumstances of the case, detention period of the applicant, the fact that the other co-accused person has granted bail by this Court, as the trial is likely to take some time for its final disposal, this Court is of the view that it is a fit case to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the application is allowed.

• Accused/applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one local surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court. He is directed to appear before the said Court on each and every date given to him by the said Court. Sd/- (Rajani Dubey) Judge Vijay Sahu
