HELD:
Perusal of the above shows that the accused
applicant certainly helped Vikas Dubey and
always closed his eyes towards the criminal
activities of the gang of Vikas Dubey. He, during
the incident, maintained distance. In case of
such an organized crime where even members
of police force were assisting the gangster and
his group, it is not possible to have a direct
evidence. Moreover, in a case of conspiracy,
there is no possibility of direct evidence. The
evidence which can be available is only
circumstantial in nature and may be in the form
of inaction on the part of the accused applicant
who, in his endeavour to assist the accused
persons, kept himself out from the picture.
Therefore, the conclusion of conspiracy is to be
drawn from the circumstances of the case and
the situation that the applicant being a criminal
minded person was indulged in assisting
gangster Vikas Dubey and his gang, and all the
paper work was done with the assistance of the
applicant. (Para 24)

It is clear from the reading of section 32(3) that
St.ment of a dead man has been legally
recognized and used in evidence even though
the same does not relate to the cause of his
death. Although, a final view is not required to
be expressed at this stage as the same will be
considered by the trial court, yet, this much is
clear that the St.ment is of a dead man and the
same has legal relevance in view of the
provision of the Evidence Act. (Para 34)
Crime, corruption and population are three
major problems the society is facing at present.
While against crime and corruption, particularly
when it is organized crime and corruption, strict
St. action and intervention is necessary to
restrict and minimize the same to maximum
extent, control over population growth requires
legal steps and strategy inclusive of motivation,
spread of education and awareness and some
positive incentive to those who opt for family
planning. Against crime and corruption, the St.
must continue with the policy of zero tolerance.
The political parties should rise above board
against crime and corruption without being
influenced by consideration of "his man" and
"our man" as this approach will not only
undermine rule of law but will also damage the
democratic set up of the nation. (Para 42)

The pursuit of life, liberty and peace includes
freedom from crime. The St.'s foremost duty is
to provide these basic rights to each citizen. The
success of a Criminal Justice System can only be
measured by how successful it is in ensuring
these rights in word and spirit. The extent to
which these rights are successfully protected,
will be reflected in the confidence of the public
in the system. The organized crime should be
treated differently from traditional individual
criminality. Conspiracy is an integral aspect of
organized crime. There cannot be a direct
evidence of conspiracy in such cases and the
law has to deal with organized crime on a
footing different from that of individual or
conventional crime, as regards admissibility and
appreciation of the evidence. (Para 43)

The discussion aforesaid certainly goes to show
that the nature of offence and amount of
culpability is serious, heinous, shocking and
unprecedented. (Para 44)

had resigned from the Company. While as
per facts of the case of Smt. B Devi
(Basanti Devi) Versus State of U.P. (supra)
the resignation and the documents with
regard to the resignation were alleged to be
the forged documents, but in the case in
hand resignation of applicant no.1 has not
been challenged, hence, the counsel for the
opposite party no.2 cannot take benefit of
the judgment of this Court, in the presence
of various Apex Court judgments placed
above by the counsel for the applicants.

23. Thus on the basis of the
discussion and the judgments placed above,
it is found that applicant no.1 had resigned
from the Company much prior to the
issuance of the cheque in question.
Admittedly, the cheque did not bear the
signatures of any of the applicants. On the
date of issuance of the cheque the
applicants were mere the shareholders of
the Company. There was no active
participation of the applicants in the day to
day business and transactions of the
Company and in the complaint itself, it is
not mentioned that as to how and in what
manner the applicants were in-charge or
were responsible to the accused Company
for the conduct of its business. Thus, in the
opinion of the Court, as on the face of the
record, participation of the applicants is not
found in the day to day functioning of the
Company, hence, on the basis of the
version that the defence would be seen at
the time of evidence, it would be travesty
of justice to drag the persons to face the
prosecution who are no way connected
with the issuance of the cheque or its being
dishonour thereof.

24. On the basis of above discussion,
the summoning of the applicants to face
trial under Section 138 of Negotiable
Instruments Act is found to be against the
mandate of law laid down by the Apex
Court in above mentioned judgments.

25. The summoning order dated
25.11.2016 passed by the Upper Nyayalaya
Pratham, Ghaziabad and the judgment
dated 22.02.2018 passed by the Additional
Session Judge, Court No.15, Ghaziabad in
criminal revision are quashed.

26. The application under Section 482
Cr.P.C. is, hereby, allowed.

Written Arguments filed by learned
counsel for the respective parties pursuant
to order dated 28.3.2023 are taken on
record.

1. Heard Sri N.I. Jafri, learned Senior
Counsel assisted by Sri Shiv Kant Dixit,
learned counsel for the applicant and Sri
Abhijeet Mukherjee, Sri D.P.S. Chauhan
1928 INDIAN LAW REPORTS ALLAHABAD SERIES
and Sri Mithilesh Kumar, learned A.G.A.
for the State and perused the record.

2. The present bail application has
been filed by the accused-applicant Jay
Bajpai @ Jay Kant Bajpai to release him on
bail in Case Crime No.238 of 2020, under
sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC,
Police Station - Kakadev, District - Kanpur
Nagar.

3. The first information report of the
incident was lodged by the Sub Inspector
Ravi Shankar Pandey on 22.7.2020 as Case
Crime No.238 of 2020, under Section 420,
467, 468, 471, 120-B I.P.C., Police Station
Kakadev, District Kanpur Nagar. The
version of the first informant is that the
applicant
have
virtual
possession
of
vehicles used in the offence in question
dated 4/5.7.2020 at Village Tikuri, Police
Station Chaubepur, District Kanpur Nagar.

4. The statement of the first informant
under Section 161 Cr.P.C. was recorded on
24.7.2020 in which he stated that the
accused/applicant is the virtual owner of
the vehicle used in the offence in question
but could not produce any evidence except,
oral. The Investigation Officer also noted
down the alleged statements of owners of
vehicles who have stated that they are the
owner of the vehicle in question which
were used by the applicant, he further
investigated that the entry pass of the
Secretariat at Lucknow is forged. The
vehicles were allegedly recovered on
5.7.2020 but the first information report
was
lodged
on
22.7.2020
having
extraordinary delay of 17 days. Admittedly
as per prosecution case the applicant is not
the owner of Audi Car, Fortuner Car and
Hyundai Car. The Audi Car and Hyundai
Verma car belongs to Pramod Kumar
Verma and Kapil Singh Chauhan who are
not accused in the present case whereas the
Fortuner car belongs to Rahul Singh (who
has already been enlarged on bail by the
Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order
dated 1.12.2021 passed in Criminal Misc.
Bail Application No.40006 of 2021, a copy
of said order has been produced by learned
counsel for the applicant, which is taken on
record) on which fake entry pass of
Secretariat at Lucknow was pasted who is
co-accused.
However,
as
per
the
prosecution version all the above owners
voluntary deposed that the above cars were
used by the applicant. It is worth to
mention here that neither the applicant is
owner of the above vehicles nor he had
used the same at any point of time nor the
above cars were recovered from the
possession of the applicant. All the above
vehicles were recovered from the same
place and the applicant was not present in
the vehicles in question, but police with
malicious intention has shown recovery of
some forged number plates from the
custody of the applicant, despite the facts
that applicant was in jail since 20.7.2020
and FIR in the present offence was lodged
on 22.7.2020.

5. Submission of the learned counsel
for the applicant is that being businessman
and having only political rivalry with some
local high level politicians, applicant has
been roped with the said offence by
fabricating false and frivolous documents
and witness, nothing is available on the
record to show that the alleged entry pass
pasted over wind shield of vehicle no. U.P.
78 EW 7070 was prepared by the applicant
nor there is any evidence or witness who
claimed to be well known that applicant
prepared the fake gate pass of secretariat
further the vehicle no. U.P. 78 FC 7070 and
U.P. 78 FI 9595 do not belong to the
applicant at any point of time and statement
5 All. Jai Bajpai @ Jay Kant Bajpai Vs. State of U.P.
1929
made by owner of vehicle that applicant is
owner of vehicle is totally false and have
no evidentiary value. Further the person
who is registered owner of vehicle no. U.P.
78 EW 7070 have liability of alleged
sticker which was prepared by police under
conspiracy
for
false
and
fabricated
prosecution of the applicant. The vehicle
owner
Mr.
Kapil
Singh
and
Rahul
Vishwakarma has been left on sacrifices of
applicant whereas it is crystal clear that
despite to right down on writing that
though the vehicle were registered in
names but same was not used by them has
no logical explanation which clearly shows
that applicant has falsely been roped in the
aforesaid offence.

6. It is stated that investigation is not
free, fare and impartial and applicant has
been victimized by the illegal act and
conduct of the police as the police is acting
in rival manner and political pressure of
politicians who want to ruin the whole life
of applicant only to take revenge of
business rivalry. It is self admitted case of
prosecution that applicant have no direct
role or participation in case crime no.192 of
2020. As stated on proceeding paragraph
that as per the prosecution case the
applicant is not the owner of Audi car,
Fortuner Car and Hundai Verna Car. The
Audi car and Hundai Verna Car belong to
Pramod Kumar Verma and Kapil Singh
Chauhan who are not accused in the present
case whereas, the Fortuner car belongs to
Rahul Singh on which fake entry pass of
Secretariat was pasted who is co-accused in
the present case and as per the prosecution
version all above owners voluntary deposed
that the above cars were used by the
applicant. The aforesaid statement of
vehicle owner is not admissible further it is
not investigated by the Investigating
Officer that who is the beneficiary of fake
gate pass issued by the secretariat. Law is
settled that the liability of any offence goes
over the owner not user and it is established
from the record that the fake gate pass
having serial no.828 was affix on wind
shield of U.P. 78 EW 7070 so vehicle of
this owner should establish that he was not
beneficiary of fake gate pass having serial
no.828 which shows that investigation is
faulty and has been conducted only for the
purpose of accusation of applicant.

7. It is further stated that neither
applicant is owner of said vehicles nor any
such recovery was made from his pointing
out, the entire story setup by the police is
absolutely false and concocted on the face
of record.

8. It is further stated that neither
applicant confessed his guilt nor his
complicity has been proved by the police
but as applicant is a common man and
police having power of the State falsely
roped the applicant at behest of politicians.

9. It is further stated that the entire
prosecution story is based upon the
ownership of the applicant hence release
application moved by the owner of vehicle
would effectively effect the decision.

10. It is further stated that no evidence
is available on record except forced vehicle
owner Rahul Singh who alleged that
applicant was using Toyota Fortuner further
it is very surprising that Investigating
Officer without touching Rahul Singh had
directly connect the applicant in the present
case without any evidence.

11. It is further stated that applicant
has specifically explained his criminal
antecedent on affidavit in support of bail
application, it is totally wrong to allege that
1930 INDIAN LAW REPORTS ALLAHABAD SERIES
the applicant has any role in case crime
no.192 of 2020 neither there is any
evidence available on record which may
prove the complicity of applicant in the
said case. Nothing is available on record to
show that the applicant is connected with
Vikas Dubey nor there is any evidence to
show the complicity of the applicant that he
actively directly and physically committed
the offence further the investigation is not
reliable and not supported with credible
evidences, the applicant has no concern
with any history sheeter.

12. It is further stated that neither
applicant was close associate of history
sheeter Vikas Dubey nor had interacted
with him at any point of time nor there is
any evidence regarding the averment made
in answering paragraph, the evidence
collected by the Investigation Officer are
created evidence and not sufficient or
credible for conviction of applicant.

13. On the contrary, learned A.G.A.
has argued that it is not a case of simple
crime, the applicant has used forged entry
passed of the Secretariat, State of Uttar
Pradesh by affixing the same on the vehicle
having No.UP78 -EW 7070; this vehicle
was used by the applicant to provide the
safe passage to the slain dacoit Vikas
Dubey who was the author of Bikru
Massacre wherein several Police personnel
were assaulted by Vikas Dubey and his
gang, after which the said Police personnel
were mercilessly done to death on the
intervening night of 2/3/.7.2020. It is
pertinent to note that for the said Bikru
Massacre the provisions of National
Security Act has already been imposed
against the applicant on the grounds inter
alia prejudicing public order and the NSA
was imposed on the applicant from
4.9.2021 to 1.9.2022 and applicant has
criminal history of 14 cases.

14.

During
the
course
of
investigation, in case crime No.192 of
2020, Police Station Chaubeypur, District
Kanpur Nagar, it was revealed that Jay
Kant Bajpayee was present in the meeting,
in which it was planned how to safely
escape Vikas Dubey after the Bikru
Massacre after killing the police personnel
and for the same Jay Kant Bajpayee had
provided
money
and
ammunitions
alongwith cars to slain gangster Vikas
Dubey, this information was provided by
Vikas Dubey when he was arrested at
Ujjain and during transit his statement was
recorded which was subsequently made
part of Case Diary, Parcha No.10 dated
17.10.2020 which is statement of Vikas
Dubey stating his closeness with Jay Kant
Bajpayee and planning for his escape
relevant part whereof is reproduced below

24. Perusal of the above shows that
the accused applicant certainly helped
Vikas Dubey and always closed his eyes
towards the criminal activities of the gang
of Vikas Dubey. He, during the incident,
maintained distance. In case of such an
organized crime where even members of
police force were assisting the gangster and
his group, it is not possible to have a direct
evidence.
Moreover,
in
a
case
of
conspiracy, there is no possibility of direct
evidence. The evidence which can be
available is only circumstantial in nature
and may be in the form of inaction on the
part of the accused applicant who, in his
endeavour to assist the accused persons,
kept
himself
out
from
the
picture.
Therefore, the conclusion of conspiracy is
to be drawn from the circumstances of the
case and the situation that the applicant
being a criminal minded person was
indulged in assisting gangster Vikas Dubey
and his gang, and all the paper work was
done with the assistance of the applicant.

25. Moreover, it has been also pointed
out on behalf of the State that, on being
arrested, gangster Vikas Dubey gave
statement to the Investigating Officer
revealing that the accused applicant use to
assist gangster Vikas Dubey by providing
him money and ammunition. The gangster
is dead and his statement given to police is
legally admissible as the same is statement
of a dead man. Therefore, it has been
submitted that taking into consideration
over all circumstances, the culpability is
1936 INDIAN LAW REPORTS ALLAHABAD SERIES
writ large and the accused applicants do not
deserve to be released on bail.

26. This case raises certain serious
questions which relate to administration of
criminal justice system in the country with
reference to organized crime and criminals
and the role and efficiency of police force
in combating the problem. The police force
is one of the most important force with
great potential, easily approachable to the
people facing criminal wrong and law and
order problem and the most visible
component of the criminal justice system.
Like other departments, there has been a
general fall and deterioration in the
standard of functioning of the police force
also. With time, it has been seen that the
police force, not as a whole, but in small
groups, has gone through a phase of moral
and professional deterioration. There are
black sheep also in the police force and
they reflect upon the whole department
which has led to growing concern, and a
number of attempts have been made to
mend this situation. In this direction, the
past few years have been particularly
eventful, with a number of positive
developments having taken place towards a
solution of the problem and the State
appears to have observed zero tolerance
policy
towards
organized
crime
and
criminals. Strict and rigorous steps have
been taken to break and demolish financial
network of gangsters. In future, this shall
certainly bring about more and more
positive results towards restricting criminal
activities and organized crime.

27. Organized crime is not confined
to a single state, or any one country and has
become an international problem in view of
their wide spread network and sometimes
they have been also found to be a
naturalally of terrorist groups. Organized
crime is an act of threat involving murder,
kidnapping, gambling, arson, robbery,
burglary, extortion or dealing in narcotics
or dangerous drugs and other crime.
