This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant, Avanish Alias Avanesh, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 483 of 2024, under Sections 190, 191(2), 191(3), 109, 351(3) and 115(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Police Station Iglas, District Aligarh. 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 11.09.2024. 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. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that no offence as alleged in the FIR has been made out against the applicant. There is delay in lodging the F.I.R. without any explanation regarding delay. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant. Neither any independent witness of the alleged incident nor any Saria has been recovered by the police from the possession of the applicant, which was used in the alleged incident. Applicant has applied for his bail before the Sessions Judge, Aligarh but the same was rejected vide order dated 22.10.2024. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that similarly circumstanced co-accused Ali Mohammad has already been enlarged on bail by co-ordinate Bench of this Court on 20.12.2024 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 41619 of 2024. Hence, bail has been prayed for. 5. Learned counsel for the informant as well as learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. 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.
