Hon'ble Smt Justice Rajani Dubey Order on Board /09/2020 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.49/2019, registered at Police Station - Ramchandrapur, District Balrampur Ramanujganj (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 306, 384 and 149 IPC. 2.

The prosecution story, in brief, is that on 19.07.2019, a Panchayat meeting was convened in which allegation of illicit relationship with one woman namely Patiya was levelled against the deceased and also imposed fine of Rs.1051/-, which the deceased denied to pay, thereafter, the applicant along with other persons committed maarpeet with the deceased as a result of which deceased committed suicide by hanging. Based on this, offence has been registered. The present applicant has been taken into custody on 23.06.2020.

3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant

is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case. He further submits that vide order dated 16.03.2020 the other co-accused persons have already been granted bail by this Hon'ble Court in MCRC No.589/2020. He also submits that the applicant is in custody since 23.06.2020, charge sheet has been filed and there is no likelihood of his case being decided in near future. Therefore, 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, quality of evidence and further considering the facts that other co-accused persons have already been granted bail by this Court, the present applicant is in custody since 23.06.2020, charge sheet has been filed and the trial is likely to take some time, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am inclined to release him 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.25,000/- 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, till final disposal of the trial.
