Hon'ble Shri Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava Order On Board 20/10/2020

1. Heard on application for grant of bail.

2. The applicants have been arrested on 19.06.2020, on the allegation of having committed offence under Section 394, 397 of I.P.C. They moved this application for grant of bail in connection with Crime No. 250 of 2020 registered at Police Station- Bhatapara Gramin, District- BalodabazarBhatapara (C.G.).

3. Prosecution case is that the applicants have been involved in the loot of one mobile handset and Rs.5100/- of the complainant Nohar Lal.

4. Learned counsel for the applicant would argue that the applicants are falsely implicated, they have not committed any offence. He further submitted that the applicants were arrested only on the basis of suspicion. He next submitted that investigation is complete, charge-sheet has been filed and the applicants are in jail since 19.06.2020, they may be granted bail.

5. On the other hand, learned State Counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail and submits that the applicants are prima-facie involved as the complainant has identified them.

6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the nature of offence and value of the looted articles. Further considering that investigation is complete, charge-sheet has been filed and the applicants are in jail since 19.06.2020, it is a fit case for grant of bail.

7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. It is directed that the applicants shall be released on bail, on each of them furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with two local sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court on the condition that- a) They shall appear before the Trial Court regularly on each and every date, unless exempted from appearance.
