2. This application is filed seeking bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in respect of the offences punishable under Sections 65(A), 65(E) and 116(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act for which FIR came to be registered at Prohibition C.R. No.I-11207079200033 of 2019 with Halol Rural Police Station, Panchmahal.

3. Considering the fact the muddamal was recovered from the house of father of the applicant in absence of conscious possession with the petitioner and considering the nature of accusation against the petitioner and in absence of an apprehension against the petitioner tampering with the evidence or threating the witnesses or fleeing from trial, the case for admitting the petitioner to bail is made out.

2. It is very much clear from the FIR that accused persons demanded a sum of Rs.11,000/- from the deceased on account of birth of a child to the wife of the deceased and upon his reluctance to pay the amount demanded and his willingness to pay Rs.5,000/-, accused insisted for the full payment; they picked up the quarrel with the deceased and one of the accused Renuka Kunvar allegedly thrashed the head of the deceased against the wall resulting into brain hemorrhage to which the deceased eventually succumbed and died after hospitalization of seven days. The material has been collected and the evidence has been recorded and it is pointed out by the learned Public Prosecutor that accused persons have been identified by the auto-rickshaw driver in his statement under Section 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code in whose auto- rickshw the accused persons commuted to the place of the deceased and thus the argument to the contrary that the accused persons remained unidentified in absence of TI parade has no substance.

2. This application is filed seeking bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in respect of the offences punishable under Sections 376(2), 363 and 366 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 4, 6, 17 and 18 of the POCSO Act for which FIR came to be registered at C.R. No.I -25 of 2019 with Mehlav Police Station, District Anand.

3. On consideration of the rival submissions, the statement of the victim prima facie appears to be very curious in accompanying the unknown persons; she does not seem to be revealing the full and correct facts in her statement and thus considering the nature of accusation against the petitioner and in absence of an apprehension against the petitioner tampering with the evidence or threating the witnesses or fleeing from trial, the case for admitting the petitioner to bail is made out.

2. Learned advocate Mr. Baghel for the applicant submits that present application is filed after the charge-sheet. He submits that there is no recovery or discovery from the present applicant. He further submits that the mobile, which is alleged to have been noted in the alleged incident is not recovered from any of the accused persons. He also submits that since the charge-sheet is filed, there is no possibility of tampering with the evidence of prosecution and the applicant is not likely to flee from the justice. He also submits that the applicant is not named in the FIR. He therefore, urges that the applicant may be released on bail by imposing suitable conditions.
