Secy. Home Lko Counsel for Applicant :- Avanish Shukla,Prashant Shukla Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J. Supplementary affidavit filed today by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned AGA for the State as well as perused the record. The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant with the prayer to release him on bail during the trial in FIR No. 285 of 2024, under Sections 3(5) and 109 of BNS and Section 3/25 of Arms Act, Police Station Talkatora, District Lucknow. Contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that though the applicant is assigned the role of firing but no one is injured. He submits that the incident took place due to anonymity between the parties and false and concocted story is narrated in the First Information Report and the applicant is implicated in the matter and the role of firing is attributed to him. He next submits that there no independent public eye witness of the incident. Further submission is that the applicant has 4 cases criminal history which has been explained in the supplementary affidavit and the applicant is languishing in jail since 28.12.2024 and he undertakes that in case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of the same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings, therefore, submission is that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. Per contra, learned counsel appearing for the State has opposed the contentions aforesaid and submits that the applicant is involved in committing the offence, as there are ample evidences against him and as such, he is not entitled for any relief. Having heard learned counsels for the parties and after perusal of material placed on record, it transpires that the applicant is assigned the role of firing but no one is injured; applicant has 4 cases criminal history which has been explained; ther is no independent public eye witness of the incident and the applicant is languishing in jail since 28.12.2024 and he has undertaken that if he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of the same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. Considering the submissions of learned counsel of both sides, nature of accusation and severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment and considering larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case of bail. Let the applicant-Harsh Yadav @ Ishu Yadav involved in the aforementioned crime be released on bail, on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned, with the following conditions:- (1) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence by intimidating/ pressurizing the witnesses, or otherwise during the investigation or trial; (2) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court.
