Secy. Home Deptt. Lko. And Another Counsel for Applicant :- Anil Kumar Nishad,Rajesh Kumar Dhuriya Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that on 21/22.6.2020 at about 12.15 hours in the night, the father of the informant while he was sleeping on the cot, the applicant along with two co-accused persons shot him. He was admitted at District Hospital, Gonda. During treatment, he died. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that during investigation, the investigating officer dropped the name of the applicant. No charge-sheet has been filed against him. Against that, an application for further investigation was filed with a request to conduct the investigation by an independent investigating agency, which was rejected by the learned Magistrate on 5.7.2022. After filing of the charge-sheet, cognizance was taken. Thereafter, on the application filed by the complainant under Section 319 CrPC, merely on the basis of general allegations levelled by PW-1, PW-2 and PW-4, three accused persons namely, Ramdas, Raju and Nan Babu (applicant) have been summoned vide order dated 22.10.2024. It is further submitted that the applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 12.6.2025.He has fully cooperated during investigation. The co-accused Nanbabu has been granted bail by this court vide order dated 6.8.2025 passed in Bail No.6646 of 2025. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record so also the fact that during investigation, the name of the applicant was dropped by the investigating officer; the applicant has no criminal history; he is languishing in jail since 12.6.2025; he has fully cooperated during investigation and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant- Raju alias Kamlesh Premi, involved in Case Crime No. 136 of 2020, under Section 302 IPC, Police Station- Katra Bazar, District- Gonda, 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 which are being imposed in the interest of justice:- (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial.
