It was further stated in the application that accused has violated all the conditions and also misused the liberty of bail so liberty of bail is liable to be quashed. He has given detailed how he has violated the conditions imposed upon him.

(2.) AS per case of the application first condition was violated by him by tampering with the prosecution evidence of case crime No.115/2006 by intimidating the first informant and other witnesses of the case. An FIR to this effect was lodged against him by Smt. Shusila Singh who is eye-witness of the case against the accused respondent No.2 Bheem Singh. Copy of the report was annexed with the application. From its perusal it reveals that on 18.6.2008 at about 5.30 p.m. when Smt. Sushila Singh who was Block Pramukh of Karanada Block at the relevant time returning from Block Karanada accused with one another unknown person met her and asked her to pay Rs.1,00,000 as Gunda Tax from the fund received in the block, if the same is not paid, the whole family of her will be done to death. On her this report a case was registered against the respondent No.2 at police station concerned and he was arrested by the police and sent to jail. He applied to get released himself on bail but his first and second application to released on bail were rejected by the learned Session Judge. Copy of the orders of learned Session Judge Annexure 4 and Annexure 5 are annexed with the application. It was further pressed on behalf of applicant that respondent No.2 is a right-hand man and a sharp-shooter of Mr. Mukhtiyar Ansari, Local MLA who is Mafia Don of Eastern U.P. In support of his this case Annexure 6 and Annexure 6A were filed. In Annexure 6A the criminal history of respondent No. 2 is given.

(3.) AS regards the third condition of release on bail, it was directed to him that he will not involve in criminal activities or commission of any offence after release on bail. In his affidavit the Parokar applicant Smt. Shusila Singh had given the details (in Para No.8) of the cases in which the accused respondent No.2 was found involved after his release on bail. These are seven cases including the case No.269/2008, report lodged by Smt. Shusila Singh who is eye-witness of this case crime No. 115/2006. From the perusal of details of cases, it reveals that he was involved in case crime No.538/2007 under Section 110 Cr.P.C, case crime No.620/2007 Gunda Act, case crime No.678/ 2007 under Section 3/25 Arms Act, case crime No.679/2007 Gangsters Act and case crime No.117/2008 under Sections 223,224, 120B IPC, case crime No.269/2008 under Sections 386, 506 IPC and case crime No.270/2008 under Sections 353, 504 IPC and 7 Criminal Law Amended Act. All these cases were registered against the accused applicant after his release on bail in the present case. No clear reply of this paragraph of affidavit was submitted on behalf of the respondent No.2 in counter affidavits. Simply it was said that reply shall be given at the time of argument in the matter. Learned counsel for the respondent No.2 had not denied the registration of these cases against the respondent No.2 after his release on bail in this matter. Simply it was said that police has registered these cases against him saying that he is a right-hand man of Mr. Mukhtiyar Ansari. All these cases were registered as a false case against the respondent No.2 and he was not involved in these crimes detailed in these cases. This can be taken into consideration only when it is found that final report were submitted by the police in these cases or he was acquitted or discharged by the competent court in these cases, but nowhere it is said on behalf of the respondent No.2 in the counter affidavit and also learned counsel for the respondent No.2 has not said so. This again shows that after release on bail in the present case, the respondent No.2 was found involved in criminal activities and also commission of offence. This shows that he was violated this condition of bail also. Other condition was that he will cooperate with the investigation and speedy trial. Although in his affidavit Parokar of the applicant said that he is not cooperated in investigation and now he is not cooperated for speedy trial but no instance of the same was brought on record on behalf of the applicant. There is no police report/Investigating Officer that accused respondent No.2 has not cooperated in the investigation, so evidence of violation of this condition are not available on the record.
