Application No. 7972 of 2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tThe<br \/>\napplicant-accused is charged with having committed offences under<br \/>\nsections 420, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 471, 472, 474 and 34 of IPC<br \/>\nfor which FIR, being C.R. No. I-407\/2009, has been registered with<br \/>\nSector-7 Police Station, Gandhinagar.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tLearned<br \/>\nSr. Counsel Mr. P.M. Thakkar appearing with learned advocate Ms.<br \/>\nSandhya Natani for the applicant has referred to the papers and<br \/>\nsubmitted that though on earlier occasion the applicant was not<br \/>\nreleased on bail, he has remained in jail without any progress of the<br \/>\ntrial .  He submitted that, therefore, considering the nature of<br \/>\noffence and the fact that other co-accused have been released as per<br \/>\nthe order passed in Criminal Misc. Application No. 8618 of 2010 as<br \/>\nwell as Criminal Misc. Application No. 15929 of 2010 dated 9.2.2011,<br \/>\nthe present application may be allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tLearned<br \/>\nSr. Counsel Mr. Thakkar has also referred to the details about the<br \/>\nrole and submitted that even if it is assumed that there is a prima<br \/>\nfacie case, still, considering the provisions of sec. 439 of Cr.P.C.<br \/>\nand the basic principles with regard to grant of bail, the present<br \/>\napplication may be allowed. He submitted that even if there is a<br \/>\nprima facie case, when the trial is likely to take time, the normal<br \/>\ncriteria which are to be considered are, (i) whether he is likely to<br \/>\njump the bail, (ii) whether he is likely to interfere with the<br \/>\nwitnesses and tamper with the evidence.   He submitted referring to<br \/>\nthe Rojkam that actually no progress has been made and in fact<br \/>\nwarrant was issued to the complaint. He therefore submitted that the<br \/>\npresent application may be allowed when other co-accused have been<br \/>\nreleased who are also attributed with  active role like Jagatsing<br \/>\nRajput @ Tiger (Criminal Misc. Application No. 15929 of 2010).\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tLearned<br \/>\nAPP Mr. Jani resisted the application. He referred to the statements<br \/>\nof witnesses including the statement of one Iqbal and also the<br \/>\nstatement of bank account of the applicant accused to emphasise that<br \/>\nhe is the beneficiary and he has received the amount suggesting his<br \/>\nprima facie involvement.  He submitted that the amount was deposited<br \/>\nand thereafter it was withdrawn and the account has been closed as<br \/>\nstated in the statement of the Manager of the bank. Learned APP Mr.<br \/>\nJani strenuously submitted that when there is a prima facie case and<br \/>\nthere is an active role attributed to th applicant with regard to the<br \/>\nforged document on the basis of which huge land has been sought to be<br \/>\ntransferred, the present application may not be entertained. He has<br \/>\nalso submitted that there are no change of circumstances.<br \/>\nAlternatively, it was submitted  that some direction for expediting<br \/>\nthe trial may be given.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tI<\/p>\n<p>6.\tIn view<br \/>\nof rival submissions, it is required to be considered whether the<br \/>\npresent application can be entertained or not.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tIt is<br \/>\nwell accepted that this court is not required to appreciate and<br \/>\nscrutinize the evidence in detail at this stage.  However, for<br \/>\nconsidering the prima facie case, relevant aspects like the<br \/>\nnature\/gravity of offence, the manner in which it is alleged to have<br \/>\nbeen committed, the role attributed etc. have to be considered. In<br \/>\nthe facts of the present case, without any further elaboration, it<br \/>\nwould suggest that there is a prima facie case suggesting his active<br \/>\ninvolvement. However, at the same time, as rightly contended by<br \/>\nlearned Sr. Counsel Mr. Thakkar, though initially  he has not been<br \/>\nreleased on bail, but since the trial has not progressed or actually<br \/>\nnot even commenced, his application is required to be considered<br \/>\nparticularly when the other co-accused have been released on bail.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tTherefore,<br \/>\nthough the earlier application is rejected, the fact that there has<br \/>\nbeen a a delay in trial when the trial has not even commenced and the<br \/>\nother co-accused have been released, the present application is<br \/>\nrequired to be considered.  Therefore, though there is a prima facie<br \/>\ncase, the criteria for grant of bail have to be considered, viz. (i)<br \/>\nwhether he is likely to jump the bail and whether his presence can be<br \/>\nsecured, and (ii) whether he is likely to interfere with the<br \/>\nwitnesses and tamper with the evidence.  Therefore, applying the<br \/>\naforesaid criteria for the purpose of deciding the bail application<br \/>\neven though there may be a prima facie case suggesting involvement<br \/>\nand the tole attributed and also the nature\/gravity of the offence,<br \/>\nthe present application is required to be considered having regard to<br \/>\nthe aforesaid aspects of delay in trial as well as the fact that the<br \/>\nother co-accused have been released including the accused like<br \/>\nJagatsing Rajput @ Tiger who has been released on bail as per the<br \/>\norder passed in Criminal Misc. Application No. 15929 of 2010 dated<br \/>\n9.2.201.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tTherefore,<br \/>\nwithout any further elaboration which has been much emphasised by the<br \/>\nlearned APP about the prima facie involvement or the role,  the court<br \/>\nis of the opinion that the present application deserves to be allowed<br \/>\nin view of the discussion made hereinabove.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tThe<br \/>\napplication is accordingly allowed.  The applicant is ordered to be<br \/>\nreleased on bail in connection with C.R. No. I-407\/2009<br \/>\nregistered with Sector-7 Police Station, Gandhinagar.<br \/>\non his executing a personal bond of Rs. 10,000\/- (Rupees Ten Thousand<br \/>\nonly) with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction<br \/>\nof the lower court and subject to the further conditions that he<br \/>\nshall :\n<\/p>\n<p>(a)\tnot<br \/>\ntake undue advantage of his liberty or abuse his liberty.\n<\/p>\n<p>(b)\tnot to<br \/>\ntry to tamper or pressurize the prosecution witnesses or complainant<br \/>\nin any manner;\n<\/p>\n<p>(c )\tnot<br \/>\nact in any manner injurious to the interests of the prosecution.\n<\/p>\n<p>(d)\tmaintain<br \/>\nlaw and order and should co-operate with the investigating officers;\n<\/p>\n<p>(e)\tmark<br \/>\nhis presence before the concerned Police Station on the first Monday<br \/>\nof every calendar month between 11.00 am to 2.00 pm till the trial<br \/>\ncommences.\n<\/p>\n<p>(f)\tfurnish<br \/>\nthe address of his residence to the investigating officer and also to<br \/>\nthe court at the time of execution of the bond and shall not change<br \/>\nhis residence without prior permission of the court.\n<\/p>\n<p>(g)\tsurrender<br \/>\nhis passport, if any, to the lower court, within a week.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.\tIf<br \/>\nbreach of any of the above conditions is committed, the concerned<br \/>\nSessions Judge will be free to issue warrant or take appropriate<br \/>\naction in the matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.\tBail<br \/>\nbefore the lower court having jurisdiction to try the case.
