Ravi Kumar vs State Of Haryana

FIR No.,Dated,Police Station,Sections

[53]. The pragmatic approach is that while granting bail with sureties, the “Court†and the “Arresting Officer†should give a choice to the",,,

accused to either furnish surety bonds or to handover a fixed deposit, or direct electronic money transfer where such facility is available, or creating a",,,

lien over his bank account. The accused should also have a further option to switch between the modes. The option lies with the accused to choose,,,

between the sureties and deposits and not with the Court or the arresting officer.,,,

Given above, In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail in the case mentioned above, subject to his furnishing a personal bond of",,,

Rs. Ten Thousand only (INR 10,000/-), and furnishing one surety for Rs. Twenty-Five thousand only (INR 25,000/-), to the satisfaction of the",,,

concerned Investigator. Before accepting the sureties, the concerned officer must satisfy that if the accused fails to appear in Court, then such surety",,,

is capable of producing the petitioner before the Court.,,,

In the alternative, the petitioner may furnish a personal bond of Rs. Ten Thousand only (INR 10,000/-), and hand over to the the attesting officer, a",,,

fixed deposit(s) for Rs. Ten Thousand only (INR 10,000/-), made in favour of Chief Judicial Magistrate of the concerned district.Such Fixed deposits",,,

may be made from any of the banks where the stake of the State is more than 50%, or any of the well-established and stable private banks, with the",,,

clause of automatic renewal of principal, and the interest reverting to the linked account. The arresting officer shall give a time of ten working days to",,,

enable the accused to prepare a fixed deposit. Such a fixed deposit need not necessarily be made from the applicant's account. If such a fixed deposit,,,

is made in physical form, i.e., on paper, then the original receipt shall be handed over to the concerned court. If made online, its printout, countersigned",,,

by the accused, shall be given; and the depositor shall get the online liquidation disabled. The applicant shall inform the concerned branch of the bank",,,

at the earliest that it has been tendered as surety. Such information be sent either by e-mail or by post/courier about the fixed deposit, whether made",,,

on paper or in any other mode, along with its number and FIR number. After that, the applicant shall hand over such proof and endorsement to the",,,

concerned police station. Such officer shall have a lien over the deposit until discharged by substitution, and in case any court takes cognizance, then",,,

such court, upon which the investigator shall hand over the deposit to such court, which shall have a lien over it up to the expiry of the period",,,

mentioned under S. 437-A CrPC, 1973, or until discharged by substitution as the case may be. If any, subject to the proceedings under S. 446 CrPC,",,,

the entire amount of fixed deposit, less taxes if any, shall be endorsed/returned to the depositor.",,,

It shall be the total discretion of the applicant to choose between surety bonds and fixed deposits. It shall also be open for the applicant to apply for,,,

substitution of fixed deposit with surety bonds and vice-versa.,,,

officials, or any other person acquainted with the facts and the circumstances of the case, to dissuade them from disclosing such facts to the Police, or",,,

the Court, or to tamper with the evidence.",,,

Within ten days from today, the petitioner shall procure a smartphone and inform its IMEI number and other details to the SHO/I.O. of the Police",,,

station mentioned before. The petitioner shall always keep the phone location/GPS on the “ON†mode. Whenever the Investigating officer asks to,,,

share the location, the petitioner shall immediately do so. The petitioner shall neither clear the location history, WhatsApp chats, calls nor format the",,,

phone without permission of the concerned SHO/I.O. This condition shall continue till the completion of the trial or closure of case, whatever is earlier.",,,

Given the nature of allegations and the other circumstances peculiar to this case, the petitioner shall surrender all weapons, firearms, ammunition, if",,,

any, along with the arms license to the concerned authority within ten days from today and inform the Investigator about the compliance. However,",,,

subject to the Indian Arms Act, 1959, the petitioner shall be entitled to renew and take it back in case of acquittal in this case.",,,

During the trial's pendency, if the petitioner repeats or commits any offence where the sentence prescribed is more than seven years or violates",,,

any condition as stipulated in this order, it shall always be permissible to the respondent to apply for cancellation of this bail. It shall further be open for",,,

any investigating agency to bring it to the notice of the Court seized of the subsequent application that the accused was earlier cautioned not to indulge,,,

in criminal activities. Otherwise, the bail bonds shall continue to remain in force throughout the trial and after that in terms of Section 437-A of the",,,

Cr.P.C.,,,

Any Advocate for the petitioner and the Officer in whose presence the petitioner puts signatures on personal bonds shall explain all conditions of,,,

this bail order in any language that the petitioner understands.,,,

If the petitioner finds bond amount beyond social and financial reach, it may be brought to the notice of this Court for appropriate reduction.",,,

Further, if the petitioner finds bail condition(s) as violating fundamental, human, or other rights, or causing difficulty due to any situation, then for",,,

modification of such term(s), the petitioner may file a reasoned application before this Court, and after taking cognizance, even to the Court taking",,,

cognizance or the trial Court, as the case may be, and such Court shall also be competent to modify or delete any condition.",,,

This order does not, in any manner, limit or restrict the rights of the Police or the investigating agency from further investigation as per law.",,,

In case the Investigator/Officer-In-Charge of the concerned Police Station arraigns another section of any penal offence in this FIR, and if the",,,

new section prescribes maximum sentence which is not greater than the sections mentioned above, then this bail order shall be deemed to have also",,,

been passed for the newly added section(s). However, suppose the newly inserted sections prescribe a sentence exceeding the maximum sentence",,,

prescribed in the sections mentioned above, then, in that case, the Investigator/Officer-In-Charge shall give the petitioner notice of a minimum of",,,

seven days providing an opportunity to avail the remedies available in law.,,,

Any observation made hereinabove is neither an expression of opinion on the merits of the case nor shall the trial Court advert to these comments.,,,

In return for the protection from incarceration, the Court believes that the accused shall also reciprocate through desirable behavior.",,,

There would be no need for a certified copy of this order for furnishing bonds, and any Advocate for the Petitioner can download this order along",,,

with case status from the official web page of this Court and attest it to be a true copy. In case the attesting officer wants to verify the authenticity,",,,
