Hon'ble Smt Justice Rajani Dubey Order on Board 02/06/2021 Proceeding through video conferencing.

1.

The applicant has preferred this First bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail as he is arrested in connection with Crime No.162/2021, registered at Police Station - City Kotwali Balodabazar, District Balodabazar-Bhatapara (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 341 and 394 IPC. 2.

Allegation against the present applicant is that he along with other co-accused persons robbed Rs.2000/- from driver of the truck bearing registration No. CG-07-BC-9573 and also assaulted him by hands and fists. Based on this, offence has been registered. The present applicant has been taken into custody on 02.03.2021.

3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. She further submits that the applicant has no criminal antecedent. He is ready to abide by all the

conditions so imposed upon him by the Hon'ble Court. She also submits that the applicant is in custody since 02.03.2021 and there is no likelihood of his case being decided in near future and, therefor, he may be released on bail. 4.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposed the bail application.

5.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.

6.

Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of offence and further considering the fact that the applicant is in custody since 02.03.2021, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail.

7.

Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8.

It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his appearance before the said Court as and when directed.
