Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:12238 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 42769 of 2024 Applicant :- Amitabh Mishra Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- D.M.Tripathi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Vivek Kumar Mishra Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Supplementary affidavit filed in the Court today is taken on record. Heard Shri D.M.Tripathi, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Pankaj Kumar, learned AGA for the State-respondents and perused the record. This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant, Amitabh Mishra, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 276 of 2024, under Sections 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and 11(7), 13(5) of U.P. Public Examination Ordinance, 2024, Police Station- Mauaima, District- Prayagraj. 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 17.10.2024. He has criminal antecedent of two cases and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is not named in the FIR. Applicant's name disclosed in the confessional statement of co-accused, Daya Shanker Yadav, who has already been enlarged on bail by Court vide order dated 23.10.2024 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 35862 of 2024. No specific allegation has been made against the applicant. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from the possession or pointing of the applicant. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned counsel for the informant as well as learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. 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. Let the accused-applicant, Amitabh Mishra, involved in above mentioned case crime number be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant will not tamper with the evidence. 2. The applicant will not indulge in any criminal activity. 3. The applicant will not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses and co-operate in the trial. 4. The applicant will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless his personal appearance is exempted through counsel by the court concerned. In the event of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the court below will be at liberty to proceed to cancel his bail.
