The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 195 of 2024, under Section 108 BNS, Police Station Anpara, District Sonbhadra, during pendency of the trial in the court below. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that as per allegation due to some dispute of money, applicant and his brother beaten the deceased and thereafter, he committed suicide but entire allegation levelled against the applicant is totally false. 5. He further submitted that however, entire allegation is false but even if allegations are accepted then also at this stage, it cannot be said that due to abetment of the applicant, deceased committed suicide. 6. He further submitted that however, apart from the present case, applicant is having criminal history of four other cases but all the four cases relate to minor offences. 7. He further submitted that applicant is in jail in the present matter since 15.1.2025. 8. Per contra, learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the arguments on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant. 9. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 10. Considering the nature of allegations levelled against the applicant, argument advanced by learned counsel for the applicant that there is no cogent evidence of abetment against the applicant cannot be ruled out, at this stage. 11. Further, however, applicant is having criminal history of four other cases but all the four cases appear to be relate to minor offences. 12. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 13. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 14. Let the applicant-Rajeev Kumar Alias Raju Pahalwan, be released on bail in the aforesaid case on 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 appear before the trial court on the dates fixed, unless his personal presence is exempted.
