Court No. - 48 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 14975 of 2008 Petitioner :- Ram Saran Respondent :- State Of U.P. Petitioner Counsel :- Sheo Ram Singh,B.B. Paul,Kuldip Singh Yadav Respondent Counsel :- Govt. Advocate,Shashidhar Pandey Hon'ble Surendra Singh,J.
Applicant- Ram Saran seeks bail in Case Crime No. 237 of 2007 , under
Section 302 IPC, Police Station Matsena, District Firozabad .
Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. and also
perused the material placed on record.
Submissions have been made by the learned counsel for the applicant that the
applicant is in jail since 2.9.2007 and the trial has not concluded. Although
the trial has commenced and substantially proceeded but it is likely to
consume some more time to conclude. Moreover, the applicant has got no
criminal history to his credit, thus deserves to be released on bail.
On the other hand, learned A.G.A. opposed this bail application and
contended that a number of witnesses have been examined and it would not be
proper at this stage to release the applicant on bail and, moreover, the
prosecution is apprehensive of the fact that in case the applicant is allowed to
be released on bail, there is every likelihood of his fleeing away from the
judicial process.
Taking note of the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties as well
as having perused the material placed on record, I do not find any good
ground to release the applicant on bail. The prayer for bail is refused and the
application is, therefore, rejected, without expressing any opinion on the
merits of the case.
However, taking into account that the applicant is in jail since 2.9.2007, the
trial court is directed to make every endeavour to conclude the trial
expeditiously in consonance with the provisions of Section 309 Cr.P.C. Both
the parties are expected to cooperate with the proceedings and not to seek
unnecessary adjournments.
The office is directed to send the copy of the order to the District Judge/Trial
Court immediately for the communication and necessary compliance.
