The present application is filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure by the applicant for regular bail in connection with an FIR being
C.R.No. 11204041210241 of 2021 registered with Mahemdabad Police Station, District: Kheda for the offence punishable under Sections 406, 420,
465, 466, 467, 468, 471, 474 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.
Learned advocate for the applicant submits that considering the nature of allegations, role attributed to the applicant, the applicant may be enlarged on
regular bail by imposing suitable conditions.
Learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondentÂState has opposed grant of regular bail looking to the nature and gravity
of the offence.
I have heard learned advocates appearing on behalf of the respective parties.
Having heard learned advocate for the applicant as well as learned APP for the respondentÂState and considering the contents of the FIR, it appears
that in the birth certificate, the birth of date of the applicant is shown as 15.06.1994 and in the Nikahnama of Ibrahimbhai Aadambhai Sindhi and
Hajrabai Mohamadmiya Sindhi was married on 30.10.1967 as the applicant was born on 15.06.1964 from the wedlock of Ibrahimbhai and his second
wife Hajirabibi and not from the first wife ie., Madinabibi. As per school leaving certificate, his birth date is 15.06.1964 and second wife of the father
of the applicant namely Hajirabibi whom the complainant alleged to be the mother of the applicant, was married to the father of the applicant on
30.10.1967 and therefore, prima facie it becomes clear that the applicant was the son of Madinabibi and Ibrahimbhai. It further appears that the
brothers of the applicant have filed an affidavit and they have no objection as their names are being shown in the affidavit. The applicant appears to be
retired public servant and there is no criminal antecedents. It further appears that the accused no.1 is released on anticipatory bail, accused nos. 2, 3,
and 4 are released on regular bail, accused no.5 is released on anticipatory bail and accused nos. 6, 7 and 8 are released on regular bail.
In the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the nature of allegations made against the applicant in the FIR as well as considering the
ground of parity as the other coÂaccused are released either on regular bail or anticipatory bail, I am of the opinion that this is a fit case to exercise
the discretion and enlarge the applicant on regular bail.
Hence, the present application is allowed and the applicant is ordered to be released on regular bail in connection with an FIR being C.R.No.
