Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:27283 Court No. - 67 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 3281 of 2025 Applicant :- Raman Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Prem Chandra Dwivedi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Vivek Varma,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned AGA for the State. Perused the record. 2. This application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. has been filed seeking bail in Case Crime No. 208 of 2000 as well as S.S.T. No. 44A/2000, under Section 398 I.P.C., P.S. Dauki, District Agra. 3. Counsel for the applicant submits that earlier the applicant was granted bail by the trial court on 2.9.2000. Due to some unavoidable circumstances, the applicant could not appear before the concerned court. Consequently, non-bailable warrant has been issued against him on 18.7.2001. The applicant is in jail since 30.9.2024. In case, he is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 4. Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and after perusal of record this Court prima facie finds that after being released on bail, the applicant has absconded himself in trial since 2000. Non- bailable warrant has been issued against the applicant on 18.7.2001. On account of non-appearance of the applicant the trial proceedings remained held up. The applicant subsequently surrendered on 30.9.2024. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court does not consider it appropriate to grant bail to the applicant. 6. The bail application is, accordingly rejected. 7. However, it is observed that the trial court would endeavour to conclude the trial expeditiously. Order Date :- 27.2.2025 S.S.
