Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order on Board 18.08.2020

1. The applicant has filed this first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail in connection with Crime No. 34/2019 registered at Police Station GRP Outpost Charoda Bhilai, District Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 380, 457, 411 of the IPC.

2. The allegation against the present applicant, as per the prosecution case is that he has committed theft of one Samsung Mobile and cash of Rs. 8,000/- from the house of the complainant. Based on that, after investigation, offence has been registered and he has been arrested.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the crime in question because

he was not involved in any such incident. He next submits that he has been arrested only on the basis of doubt and also the FIR was registered against the unknown person. He also added that, the applicant is in jail since 23.02.2020 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.

4. On the other hand, State counsel strongly opposes the bail application.

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

6. Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offence, facts and circumstances of the case, as applicant is in jail since 23.02.2020 and 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.

7. 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.
