IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Criminal Misc. Application No. 386 of 2011 Mangey Ram & another ……… Applicants Versus State of Uttarakhand ………. Respondent Mr. Arvind Vashisth, Advocate for the applicants Mr. P.S. Bohra, Brief Holder for the State/respondent. JUDGMENT Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. At the time when cognizance was taken on the police report, police had reported that a case against the applicants punishable under Sections 504, 506 of I.P.C. has been made out. Applicants were thereupon summoned. In answer to the summons, they surrendered and obtained bail. Subsequent thereto, when charge was framed, court held that the case is such that if found guilty, applicants may be convicted under Sections 420, 467, 468, 442 and 120-B of I.P.C. also. In the present application made under Section 482 of the Code, applicants are seeking that the order granting them interim bail and the bail bonds furnished by them along with sureties given, be treated to cover the whole case. 2. Inasmuch as, punishments awardable under Sections 420, 467, 468, 442 and 120-B of I.P.C. are harsher than punishments awardable under Sections 504 and 506 of I.P.C., the same suggests that the crimes covered by Sections 420, 467, 468, 442 and 120-B of I.P.C. are more graver than crimes committed under Sections 504 and 506 of I.P.C. 3. It is settled law that graveness of the allegations against the bail seeker is a very important aspect to be taken into account while dealing with an application for bail. In the circumstances, since, now the applicants are facing graver charges, they would be required to seek fresh bail and the bail order earlier passed, bail bonds and securities furnished, pursuant to the said order, cannot be treated to be bail order, bail bonds and securities in respect of charges, now the applicants are facing. 2 4. In the circumstances, the application is dismissed with liberty to the applicants to apply for bail afresh. In the event, applicants apply for grant of bail, let the same be decided as quickly as possible and preferably on the date of making thereof. (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 09.05.2011 Aswal
