Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. The present bail application has been filed by accused-applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No.188 of 2025, under Sections 140(2), 308(5) of BNS, P.S. Bakshi Ka Talab, District Lucknow. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that on 12.05.2025 at about 06:00 pm some unknown persons came from two vehicles and brother of the complainant Irfan was beaten and kidnapped. Later on, the complainant received a phone call whereby Rs.2,00,000/- ransom was demanded. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant has no criminal history. Applicant is not named in the F.I.R. His name has surfaced in the confessional statement of the co-accused in police custody. Nothing has been recovered from him. The alleged ransom of Rs.2,00,000/- has been recovered from the co-accused. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 20.05.2025. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer however, does not dispute the fact that there is no recovery from the applicant and his name has surfaced in the confessional statement of the co- accused. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record as also the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 20.05.2025, applicant is not named in the F.I.R., there is no recovery from him and his name has surfaced in the confessional statement of the co-accused persons and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
