Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:28410 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 2652 of 2025 Applicant :- Monu Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Anuj Kumar Gupta Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. 1. Heard Shri Anuj Kumar Gupta, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Shashank Singh, learned Brief Holder for the State- opposite party and perused the record. 2. This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant, Monu, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 286 of 2024, under Sections 115(2), 352, 351(3), 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Police Station Asmoli, District Sambhal. 3. 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 03.11.2024. 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. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that no offence as alleged in the FIR has been made out against the applicant. Applicant is a reputed person of the society and he has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. Tabal used in the alleged incident has not been recovered by the police. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant. There is no independent witness of the alleged incident and the witnesses whose statements were recorded by the police are the family members of the deceased and are interested witnesses. Hence, bail has been prayed for. 5. Learned counsel for the informant as well as learned AGA has vehemently opposed, but could not dispute the fact that applicant has no criminal antecedents. 6. Considering all those 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. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8. Let the accused-applicant, Monu, 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: i. The applicant will not tamper with the evidence. ii. The applicant will not indulge in any criminal activity. iii. The applicant will not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses and co-operate in the trial. iv. 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. 9. In the event of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the court below will be at liberty to proceed to cancel his bail.
