ORDER
Rule.
Mr.U.A. Trivedi, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, waives
service of Rule on behalf of the respondent-State.
This
application is filed by the applicant under Section 439 of the
Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 for releasing him on regular bail in
connection with the offences registered as M.Case No.10 of 2005
registered with Vidhyanagar Police Station, District-Anand for the
offences punishable under Sections 405, 406, 420 and 120-B of the
Indian Penal Code.
Heard
Mr.J.M. Panchal for Mr.Nigam Shukla, learned counsel for the
applicant and Mr.U.A. Trivedi, learned Additional Public Prosecutor,
for the State.
Mr.Panchal
has submitted that the applicant is innocent and has not committed
any offence. He has also contended that other co-accused are already
released on bail by this Court. He read the order passed by the
trial Court and prayed to release the applicant on regular bail.
As
against this, Mr.Trivedi, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, has
strongly opposed the present application and read the order passed
by the trial Court.
I
have gone through the order passed by the trial Court as well as
papers produced on record of the case. Looking to the allegations
levelled against the applicant, I am inclined to release him on
regular bail.
Learned
counsel for the parties do not press for a reasoned order.
Considering
the submissions made on behalf of the parties and having regard to
the facts and circumstances of the case, the application is allowed
and applicant is ordered to be released on bail in connection with
M.Case No.10 of 2005 registered with Vidhyanagar Police Station,
District-Anand for the offences alleged against him in this
application on his executing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten
Thousand Only) with one solvent surety of the like amount to the
satisfaction of the lower Court and subject to the conditions that
he shall,
(I) not
take undue advantage of his liberty or abuse his liberty;

(v) Surrender
his passport, if any, to the lower Court within a week;
The
Authority will release the applicant only if he is not required in
connection with any other offence for the time being.

Sessions Judge will be free to issue warrant or take appropriate
action in the matter.
