S.B.CR. MISC. BAIL APPLICATION NO.7504/2008 SHAHBUDDIN VS. STATE OF RAJ. 17.10.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH BHAGWATI Mr. Dinesh Yadav, for the petitioner. Mr. Jinendra Jain, Public Prosecutor for the State. This order governs the disposal of bail application filed by Shri Dinesh Yadav, Advocate on behalf of the applicant Shahbuddin pertaining to F.I.R. No. 44/2006 of Police Station Tapukada, Distt. Alwar in the offences under Sections 399, 402 of IPC. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the material on record. The learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that he has been in custody since 2nd of August, 2008. Rest of the accused persons are on bail, hence, he may also be granted indulgence of bail in this case. The learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail petition on the ground that the petitioner had absconded during investigation and charge sheet was filed by the police against him under Section 299 of Cr.P.C. The absence of the accused has hampered the trial of the case, as such his bail petition petition may be dismissed. 2 Having considered the submissions made at the bar and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I, feel inclined to grant bail to the petitioner on furnishing bail bonds of heavy amount so as to ensure his appearance in the Court on all dates of hearing. It is, therefore, ordered that the accused petitioner Shahbuddin S/o Shri Chitar in FIR No.44/2006, Police Station Tapukada, District Alwar, shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rs. One lac) together with three local respectable sureties each of Rs.40,000/- to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so till the trial is concluded.
