Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:59953 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 2527 of 2025 Applicant :- Satendra Yadav Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Rakesh Chandra Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Shri Rakesh Chandra, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Anil Kumar Singh 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, Satendra Yadav, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 114 of 2024, under Section 3/5A/5B/8 of Cow Slaughter Act and Section 11 Animal Cruelty Act, Police Station Naugadh, District Chandauli.
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 12.12.2024.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant was not apprehended from the spot. Name of applicant surfaced on record on the basis of statement of two co-accused persons who were nabbed on the spot. He has two cases of criminal antecedent, which have sufficiently been explained 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. 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, Satendra Yadav , 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.
