Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:41536 Court No. - 14 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 3894 of 2025 Applicant :- Balram Pal Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Principal Secy. Home Lko Counsel for Applicant :- Ajeet Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. The accused-applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No.87 of 2025 under Section 110 BNS and Section 25(9) Arms Act, Police Station Sandi, District Hardoi. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that during the Tilak ceremony of one Subham on 14.02.2025, the applicant was involved in celebratory gun firing (harsh firing), during which one Rajkumar is said to have sustained injuries. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the case. It is further submitted that the applicant is in judicial custody since 03.04.2025 and has duly explained his criminal history in paragraph 12 of the Rejoinder Affidavit. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer of the applicant. I have considered the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. On due consideration of the facts that the criminal history of the applicant has been explained in paragraph 12 of the Rejoinder Affidavit; prima facie, there appears to be no intention on the part of the applicant to cause injury; the incident occurred during a social function where the applicant appears to have been an invitee; the medical report of the injured shows that he remained admitted for only one day; the applicant has been in jail since 03.04.2025; and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for granting bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant Balram Pal be released on bail in aforesaid first information report number subject to his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court below concerned with the following conditions: (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial. (ii) The applicant will not pressurize/ intimidate the prosecution witness. (iii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. (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. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A of the IPC (now Section 269 BNS). (vi) In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail during trial and in order to secure his presence proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C. (now Section 84 BNSS)is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A of the IPC (now Section 209 BNS).
