JUDGMENT Brijesh Kumar Srivastava-II, J. Heard learned counsel for applicant, learned A.G.A. and perused the record. 2. This bail application has been preferred by the accused-applicant, Pintoo @ Rohitash Shukla, who is involved in Case Crime No. 378 of 2004, under Sections 2/3 Gangster Act, P.S.- Kasimpur, District-Hardoi. 3. It is contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that previously applicant was on bail. It is also contended that before the court Special Judge (Gangster Act) 15.02.2008 was the date fixed for hearing of the matter but on that date due to illness the applicant could not appear and accordingly non bailable warrant has been issued, hence default has been committed by the applicant. Learned counsel for the applicant further undertakes that the applicant will appear regularly on each and every date fixed before the court concerned. Accused-applicant is in jail since 08.03.2015 having no criminal history to his credit as averred in paragraph nos. 8 and 5 of the affidavit filed in support of bail application. 4. Learned A.G.A. opposed the bail application on the ground the applicant will further commit default. 5. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made by learned counsel for both sides and going through the record, without commenting on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case for bail. 6. Let applicant, Pintoo @ Rohitash Shukla, be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number on his furnishing a personal bond and two heavy sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions: (i). The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence, if the witnesses are present in Court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law; (ii). The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code; (iii). The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code; (iii). In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail and in order to secure his presence proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C. is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the Court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A of the Indian Penal Code. (iv) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. If in the opinion of the trial court default of this condition is deliberate or without sufficient cause, then it shall be open for the trial court to treat such default as abuse of liberty of his bail and proceed against him in accordance with law.
