Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:123335 Court No. - 70 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 10301 of 2024 Applicant :- Lalit Chandrakant Burhade Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Sudhanshu Pandey Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,R.K. Shahi Hon'ble Dr. Gautam Chowdhary,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant and perused the record. 2. The present application has been moved seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime No. 292 of 2024, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 406 I.P.C., Police Station Gorakhnath, District Gorakhpur, with the prayer that in the event of arrest, applicant may be released on bail. 3. Vide order dated 18.11.2024, a co-ordinate Bench of this Court had granted interim anticipatory bail to the applicant. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant argued that there is no credible evidence against the applicant. It has also been submitted that applicant has no criminal antecedents and the applicant undertakes to cooperate during the trial and he would appear as and when required by the investigating agency or Court. It has been stated that in case, the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate with the investigation and would obey all conditions of bail. 5. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the application for anticipatory bail and submits that vide order dated 03.07.2025 this Court had directed to him to inform the Court about the status of the case and in compliance of the said order he received instructions as per which the applicant is not cooperating with the investigation. 6. Perusal of record shows that vide order dated 18.11.2024 the applicant was granted interim anticipatory bail subject to the condition mentioned in the order was granted, in which one of the condition was to the effect that the applicant shall cooperate with the investigation. Since, as per the instructions received by the learned A.G.A. the applicant is not cooperating with the investigation, thus, the applicant has violated the condition and is misusing the liberty of bail. In the case of Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra, (2011) 1 SCC 694, it has been held by Hon'ble Supreme Court that while deciding anticipatory bail, Court must consider nature and gravity of accusation, antecedent of accused, possibility of accused to flee from justice and that Court must evaluate entire available material against the accused carefully and that the exact role of the accused has also to be taken into consideration. 7. In the instant case, considering the settled principle of law regarding anticipatory bail, submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, nature of accusation, role of applicant and all attending facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merit of the case, no case for anticipatory bail is made out. 8. The anticipatory bail application is rejected. 9. Interim order, if any stands vacated. Order Date :- 25.7.2025 Mustaqeem.
