JUDGMENT : Alok Kumar Verma, J. This bail application has been filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for grant of regular bail in connection with FIR No.83 of 2020, registered with Police Station I.T.I. District Udham Singh Nagar for the offence punishable under Sections 409, 420, 466, 467, 468, 471 and 120B of the IPC. 2. According to the FIR dated 01.03.2020, in the scholarship scam, in compliance with the order of this High Court passed in Writ Petition No.33 of 2019, Inspector Mr. G.B. Joshi was appointed as a member of Special Investigation Team (SIT). After enquiry, he filed an FIR against the applicant, middleman, along with co-accused persons. 3. Heard Mr. Sanjay Kumar, the learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Rakesh Kumar Joshi, the learned Brief Holder for the State. 4. The learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant has been falsely implicated; he is an innocent person; he has not received any scholarship amount; he is a resident of District Udham Singh Nagar; he is in custody since 21.12.2020, the charge sheet has already been filed, therefore, there is no chance of tampering with the evidence. 5. The learned Brief Holder for the State opposed the bail application, however, he fairly conceded that charge sheet has already been filed in this matter. 6. Bail is the rule and the committal to jail is an exception. Refusal of bail is a restriction on the personal liberty of the individual, guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The object of keeping the accused person in detention during the trial is not punishment. The main purpose is manifestly to secure the attendance of the accused. 7. Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for both the parties and in the facts and circumstances of the case, there is no reason to keep the applicant behind the bars for an indefinite period, therefore, without expressing any opinion as to the merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves bail at this stage. 8. The bail application is allowed. 9. 8. The bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions :- (i) The applicant shall attend the trial court regularly and he shall not seek any unnecessary adjournment; (ii) the applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of this case; 10. It is clarified that if the applicant misuses or violates any of the conditions, imposed upon him, the prosecution will be free to move the court for cancellation of bail. 11. Let a certified copy of this order be issued to the learned counsel for the applicant within 24 hours on payment of usual charges.
