The present applicant is in jail since 30.04.2025, in case crime no. 209 of 2025, under Sections 103(1), 191(2), 190/115(2), 109(1), 351(3) of BNS at Police Station Kotwali Sadar District Lakhimpur Khiri. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the present applicant has been falsely implicated as he has not committed any offence as alleged. 4. Attention has been drawn towards the impugned First Information Report, wherein, the specific role of assault and beating has been attributed to named accused Anmol Puri @ Bala and five unknown persons. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that had the present applicant been present at the incident in question, he would have been implicated by name but since he was not present at the spot, he is not implicated by name. Even as per the prosecution story, the main role of firing has been attributed to accused Anmol Puri @ Bala. The present applicant is a student of BBA which is mentioned in paragraph 13 of the bail application. Since he is in jail, he could not pursue his studies. The present applicant is having no criminal history of any kind whatsoever. Further attention has been drawn towards the bail orders of co-accused Sameep Bhalla, Shantanu Awasthi, Paras, Shivam Verma and Hardik Tiwari who have been granted bail by this court, in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 3676 of 2025, 4006 of 2025, 6115 of 2025, 4175 of 2025 and 5082 of 2025, respectively, therefore, on the basis of principles of parity, the present applicant maybe enlarged on bail. While granting bail to the co-accused persons, this court has considered the fact that main accused is Anmol Puri @ Bala. The charge-sheet has been filed. The learned counsel has further submitted that if the applicant is released on bail, he shall cooperate in the trial proceedings and shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Further, the applicant shall abide by all terms and conditions of the bail order, the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned AGA for the State has also opposed the bail application but could not dispute the submission of the learned counsel for the applicant. 6. Without entering into merits of the issue, considering the arguments of learned counsel for the parties; contents and allegations of the FIR and the fact that the present applicant is languishing in jail since 30.04.2025; similarly placed co- accused persons, namely, Sameep Bhalla, Shantanu Awasthi, Paras, Shivam Verma and Hardik Tiwari have been granted bail by this court, in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 3676 of 2025, 4006 of 2025, 6115 of 2025, 4175 of 2025 and 5082 of 2025, respectively; there is no likelihood to conclude the trial in the near future; and undertaking of the applicant that he shall cooperate in the trial proceedings and shall not misuse the liberty of bail, I find it appropriate to release the applicant on bail. 7. The bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant- Ansh Singh Chauhan, be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number 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:- (i) 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.
