Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:42671 Court No. - 14 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 801 of 2025 Applicant :- Gyan Prakash Upadhyay Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Its Prin. Secy. Deptt. Of Home Lucknow Counsel for Applicant :- Raj Nath Singh,Prateek Tewari Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Brijesh Singh Vishen Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that the informant had made investment in a project of Shine City Infraproject Pvt. Ltd. Company. Neither the money invested has been returned nor the plot has been provided to the investors, rather the invested money has been usurped by the accused persons including the applicant. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. He was the broker and agent in the Company. He submits that the alleged offences are triable by a Magistrate. It is next submitted that the co-accused Abhishek Thakur @ Abhishek Kumar Singh who was also the broker and had received the amount of commission, has been granted bail by a coordinate bench of this Court. The bail order is on record as Annexure-8 to the bail application. Therefore, the present applicant claims parity. It is further submitted that the applicant has duly explained the criminal history of 39 cases in para Nos. 21 and 22 of the bail application. All the FIRs have been lodged by the investors in the same style. He is languishing in jail since 15.7.2024. Till date, charges in the case have not been framed. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record so also the fact that the offences are triable by a Magistrate; the co-accused Abhishek Thakur @ Abhishek Kumar Singh has already been granted bail; the applicant has duly explained the criminal history; he is languishing in jail since 15.7.2024; till date, charges in the case have not been framed and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail on the ground of parity. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant- Gyan Prakash Upadhyay involved in Case Crime No. 744 of 2021, under Sections 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, Police Station- Gomti Nagar, District- Lucknow, 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 which are being imposed in the interest of justice:- (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial.

(iv) 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. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (v) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel.
