Triveni Mangta v. State of U.P

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the record this Court prima facie finds that there is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. At present there is no substantive evidence against the applicant. Further, the applicant has remained confined for more than one month and there is no hope of early conclusion of trial, more so when no reasonable apprehension has been brought by the State that the applicant, if enlarged on bail, would either tamper with the evidence or delay the trial or intimidate the witness, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail.

Let the applicant, Triveni Mangta involved in the aforesaid case be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two heavy sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to conditions that he: i. shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court; ii. shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; iii. shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses; and, iv. shall not leave district without the leave of the trial court. v. shall appear on the first Sunday of every month at the Police Station concerned.
