Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 31.08.2024. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that similarly circumstanced co-accused - Aditya Yadav has already been enlarged on bail by this Court as well as by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court on 09.12.2024 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 40209 of 2024. He has no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant, but could not dispute the fact that similarly circumstanced aforesaid co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court. Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
