Home Deptt. Lko Counsel for Applicant :- Vinod Kumar Yadav,Akhilendra Pratap Singh,Atul Verma Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Mahesh Singh Yadav Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J. Vakalatnama filed by Sri Mahesh Singh Yadav, learned counsel on behalf of the complainant is taken on record. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned counsel for the complainant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant with a prayer to release the applicant on bail during the trial in Case Crime No.33 of 2025, under Section 190, 191(2), 115(2), 105, 351(3), 352 BNS (erstwhile Sections 149, 147, 323, 304, 506, 504 I.P.C.), P.S.-Sairpur, District - Lucknow. It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. He submits that identically situated co-accused Dileep Yadav has already been granted bail by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court, vide order dated 6.6.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.5102 of 2025 and the applicant is seeking parity with the same. He also submits that there is no criminal history of the applicant, which has been explained in para 46 of the bail application and the applicant is languishing in jail since 16.4.2025 and in case, the applicant is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty and would co- operate in the trial proceedings. Per contra, learned A.G.A. and learned counsel for the complainant vehemently opposed the prayer of bail and submitted that the applicant is involved in committing the aforesaid offence, as such, he is not entitled to be released on bail but he could not dispute the fact that identically situated co- accused have already been granted bail by this Court. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and after perusal of record, it transpires that identically situated co- accused Dileep Yadav has already been granted bail by the co- ordinate Bench of this Court; there is no criminal history of the applicant, which has been explained in para 46 of the bail application; the applicant is languishing in jail since 16.4.2025; and he has undertaken that he will not misuse the liberty of bail if granted and would co-operate in the trial proceedings. Considering the submissions of learned counsel of both sides, nature of accusation and severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment and considering larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a case of bail. Let the applicant Anand Yadav involved in the aforementioned crime 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:- (1) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence by intimidating/ pressurizing the witnesses, or otherwise during the investigation or trial; (2) 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. He 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 Indian Penal Code; (3) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C.; and (4) 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. is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the court on the date fixed in such proclamation, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law under Section 174-A of the Indian Penal Code. The identity, status and residential proof of sureties will be verified by the court concerned and in case of breach of any of the above conditions, the court below shall be at liberty to cancel the bail and send the applicant to prison. It is clarified that the observations made in this order are strictly confined to the disposal of this bail application and must not be construed to have any reflection on the merits of the case.
