Allahabad High Court
Pramod @ Saroj vs State Of U.P. on 2 April, 2010
Court No. - 47

Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 7336 of 2010

Petitioner :- Pramod @ Saroj
Respondent :- State Of U.P.
Petitioner Counsel :- Raghvendra Prakash
Respondent Counsel :- Govt Advocate

Hon'ble Surendra Singh,J.

Applicant- Pramod @ Saroj seeks bail in case crime No. 616 of 2009,
under sections 302/201/120-B IPC, police station Tarwa, district
Azamgarh.

Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned AGA for the
State and perused the material placed on record.

It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is
not named in the First Information Report. His name has surfaced in the
statement of co-accused Rajesh Yadav after his arrest, thus his case is
distinguishable from the case of co-accused. He further contends that
similarly placed co-accused Awadhesh Yadava @ Kariya has been
granted bail by another Bench of this Court on 8.2.2010 vide Criminal
Misc. Bail Application No.2685 of 2010, thus the applicant also
deserves to be released on bail at this stage.

The bail is, however, opposed by the learned A.G.A.

The points pertaining to nature of accusation, severity of punishment,
reasonable apprehension of tampering the witnesses, prima facie,
satisfaction regarding proposed evidence and genuineness of the
prosecution case were duly considered.

Considering the totality of circumstances of the case, I consider it a fit
case to enlarge the applicant on bail.

Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, let the
applicant- Pramod @ Saroj involved in aforesaid crime be released on
bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like
amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.

Order Date :- 2.4.2010
