Heard Shri Ashwani Kumar Pathak, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh, learned AGA for the State- respondents and perused the record. 3. This bail application under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. has been moved on behalf of accused-applicant, Pradeep Singh, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 154 of 2024, under Section 304 I.P.C., Police Station Lar, District Deoria. 4. 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 27.10.2024.

Bail Application No. 58 of 2025. 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. 5. Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant, but could not dispute the aforesaid fact. 6. 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. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8. Let the accused-applicant, Pradeep Singh, 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.
