MCRC-297-2016 (KRISNA KUMAR Vs THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH) 08-01-2016 Shri S.K. Soni, learned counsel for the applicant. Shri B.P. Pandey, learned Government Advocate for the respondent/State. Heard on the question of admission. Admit. Case diary is not available but sufficient record is available to consider this application. Heard finally. This is first bail application filed by the applicant under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of bail. The applicant is in custody since 18.12.2015 in connection with Crime No.640/2015 registered at Police Station Excise Circle Balaghat, District Balaghat (M.P.) for the offence punishable under Sections 34(1) and 34(2) of M.P. Excise Act. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that as per report filed by the prosecution before the learned trial Court only 58 liter country- made liquor was seized. It is also submitted that the present applicant is 62 years old villager and he is in custody since 18.12.2015, having no criminal past antecedents and trial would take considerable time in its final disposal, therefore, he may be released on bail. Learned Government Advocate for the State opposed the application for grant of bail. On due consideration of the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the parties and overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the considered view that it is a fit case to release the applicant on bail, therefore, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, the application is allowed and it is directed that the applicant Krishna Kumar shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Twenty Thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the committal Court/trial Court for securing presence of the applicant before the said Court on all the dates of hearing fixed in this regard during trial.
