The first bail application of the applicant was rejected vide order of this Court dated 17.2.2016 passed in Crl. Misc. Bail Application No. 3905 of 2016. 3.

The contention as raised at the Bar by learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case on account of police enmity; criminal history has also been explained in paragraph Nos. 36 onwards and the applicant is a practicing advocate practicing in District Court Meerut; one of the co-accused Kiran Pal has already been granted bail; the accused applicant is in jail since 15.1.2016 and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the said liberty. 5. Learned AGA has opposed the bail application of the applicant and submitted that the investigation is now complete and charge sheet has already been submitted. No investigation is now left. It has further been contended that the offence is triable by Court of Magistrate. 6. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, at this stage, prima facie, a case for bail has been made out. However, the said prima facie view of this Court will not in any manner adversely affect the case of the prosecution. 7. The prayer for bail is granted. The application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant Indrapal involved in the aforesaid case crime number be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions: i) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence. ii) The applicant shall not threaten or harass the prosecution witnesses. iii) The applicant shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court. iv) The applicant shall not commit an offence similar to the offence of which the applicant is accused, or suspected of the commission, of which applicant is suspected. ii) The applicant shall not threaten or harass the prosecution witnesses. iii) The applicant shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court. iv) The applicant shall not commit an offence similar to the offence of which the applicant is accused, or suspected of the commission, of which applicant is suspected. v) The applicant shall not directly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade the applicant from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. 9. In case of default of any of the conditions enumerated above, the learned counsel for the complainant is free to move an application for cancellation of bail before this Court. 10. However, it is directed that the aforesaid case crime number pending before the concerned court below be decided expeditiously, as early as possible in accordance with Section 309 Cr.P.C. and in view of principle as has been laid down in the recent judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Vinod Kumar v. State of Punjab reported in 2015 (3) SCC 220 , if there is no legal impediment and also in view of the parameters as laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Hussain and Another v. Union of India in Crl. Appeal No. 509 of 2017 decided on 9th March, 2017 wherein it has been held as under: “(b) Magisterial trials, where accused are in custody, be normally concluded within six months and sessions trial where accused are in custody be normally concluded within two years.” 11.
