ORDER
1. This
is an application preferred under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure by the applicant who came to be arrested in connection with
CR No. I-187 of 2009 registered at Chowk Bazar Police Station, Surat
for the offence punishable under Sections 465, 467, 468, 471, 120B of
the IPC and Section 12(1)(a) of the Indian Passports Act.
2. Mr
Sunil M Agrawal, learned advocate for the applicant submitted that
the applicant is an innocent person and he has been falsely
implicated in the commission of offence. Considering the role
attributed to the applicant as reflected in the FIR, he merely
identified the wrong person. Save and except the aforesaid act, no
other overt act is committed by the applicant. Learned advocate for
the applicant has also placed reliance on the order passed by the
Coordinate Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. Application No.1309
of 2010 (Coram : Akil Kureshi, J.) dated 31.3.2010 in support of the
submission that the main accused is also granted bail by this Court
and considering the aforesaid aspects, the applicant deserves to be
enlarged on bail.
3. Mr
Devang Vyas, learned APP resisted the bail application and submitted
that considering the role attributed to the applicant and the manner
in which the offence is committed by the applicant, he does not
deserve the discretionary relief as prayed for in the application and
the application deserves to be rejected.
4. Having
considered the rival submissions and on perusal of the role
attributed to the applicant as reflected in the FIR and the police
papers as well as the order passed by the Coordinate Bench of this
Court in Criminal Misc. Application No.1309 of 2010 (Coram : Akil
Kureshi, J.) dated 31.3.2010, I am of the view that the applicant
deserves to be enlarged on bail as the main culprit is already
enlarged on bail.
5. In the facts and
circumstances of the case, the application is allowed and the
applicant is ordered to be enlarged on bail in connection with CR No.
I-187 of 2009 registered at Chowk Bazar Police Station, Surat on
executing a bond of Rs.10,000/- [Rupees ten thousand only] with one
