Heard Shri Atul Verma, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Satyendra Srivastava, the learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the records. 2. The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.56 of 2025 under Sections 191(2), 115(2), 109, 352, 351(3) of B.N.S. registered at Police Station- Sushant Golf City, District- Lucknow. 3. The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of an F.I.R. lodged on 03.02.2025 against the applicant, his cousin Ankit and 5-6 unnamed persons, stating that while the informant's son was returning home at about 10:30 PM on 02.02.2025, some dispute took place between him and the applicant, who is a guard and other accused persons. After reaching out, the informant's son told about the incident whereupon the informant, her husband and her sister went to the accused persons. All the accused persons assaulted on the head of the informant's husband with intention to kill him. In the affidavit filed in support of the bail application it has been stated that the applicant is a young man aged 20 years, he is innocent, he has falsely been implicated in the present case and he has no criminal history. 4. In the statement of the victim recorded by the Investigating Officer, Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Rakesh Kumar, Atul Verma, Nikhil Sonkar, Samanvay Mishra Counsel for Opposite Party(s): G.A. Aditya Gupta @ Aman .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Secy. Home Deptt. Lko .....Opposite Party(s) he stated that both the named accused persons and unnamed accused persons were carrying iron rods and sticks. It is recorded in the case diary that the incident was recorded in a CCTV camera, a perusal whereof showed that the applicant and other persons were present there. The other person was holding a yellow colour stick and that other person had assaulted on the head of the informant's husband twice due to which he fell down. The Investigating Officer has concluded the investigation and has submitted a charge-sheet on 02.05.2025 wherein he has mentioned that the informant has not supplied the discharge certificate. Therefore, the certified medical documents could not be put on record. It has also been submitted on behalf of the applicant that the co-accused Ankit Gupta has already been granted bail by this court by means of an order dated 07.08.2025, passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.7346 of 2025. 5. Learned AGA opposed the bail application and he has submitted that the victim had suffered head injury due to which he had to remain admitted in a Hospital, the offence committed by the accused person is serious in nature and the allegations have been established during investigation and charge-sheet has been submitted by the Investigating Officer. 6. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that although the FIR levelled allegations against three persons, including the applicant, after perusal of the CCTV footage, the Investigating Officer has recorded that a person who is not named in the FIR had given two blows on the head of the victim; there is no evidence that the victim had suffered any other injury besides the two injuries inflicted by the other unnamed accused person; that the applicant is a young man and he is languishing in jail since 04.02.2025 whereas the investigation stands concluded and a co-accused has already been granted bail by this court, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid case. 7. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. BAIL No. 5202 of 2025 2 8. Let the applicant- Aditya Gupta @ Aman be released on bail in the aforementioned case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Magistrate/Court concerned, subject to following conditions:- (i) the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; (ii) the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses; (iii) the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless his appearance is exempted by the learned trial court.
