JUDGMENT Karuna Nand Bajpayee, J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. Perused the record. 2. Several submissions assailing the truthfulness of the allegations levelled against the accused have been placed forth by the counsel for the applicant. False implication has been pleaded. Counsel has also drawn the attention of the Court to the bail order passed with regard to co-accused Bachchu, Pappu and Tahandar by another Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.459 of 2015 on 19.2.2015. Submission is that the case of the accused has no substantial difference with that of the co-accused who have already been released on bail, and therefore, on principles of parity also the accused should be released on bail. It has also been submitted that the applicant is languishing in jail since 5.12.2014 and in the wake of heavy pendency of cases in the Court, there is no likelihood of any early conclusion of trial. 3. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but has not disputed the fact of parity as has been claimed on behalf of the applicant with that of the co-accused who has already been released on bail. 4. After perusing the record in the light of the submissions made at the bar and after taking an overall view of all the facts and circumstances of this case, the nature of evidence, the period of detention already undergone, the unlikelihood of early conclusion of trial and also the absence of any convincing material to indicate the possibility of tampering with the evidence, this Court is of the view that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 5. Let the applicant-Udham Singh, involved in Case Crime No.234 of 2014, u/s 147, 148, 149, 307, 504, 332, 353 IPC, P.S.-Shergarh, District-Mathura be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned on the following conditions : - (1) The applicant will not make any attempt to tamper with the prosecution evidence in any manner whatsoever. (2) The applicant will personally appear on each and every date in the court and his personal presence shall not be exempted unless the court itself deems it fit to do so in the interest of justice. 6. (2) The applicant will personally appear on each and every date in the court and his personal presence shall not be exempted unless the court itself deems it fit to do so in the interest of justice. 6. It may be observed that in the event of any breach of the aforesaid conditions, the court below shall be at liberty to proceed for the cancellation of applicant's bail. 7. It is clarified that the observations, if any, made in this order are strictly confined to the disposal of the bail application and must not be construed to have any reflection on the ultimate merits of the case.
