Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:49372 Court No. - 12 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 7754 of 2025 Applicant :- Ritesh Singh Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Deptt. Lko. Counsel for Applicant :- Ashish Kumar Singh,Mohit Sharma,Mukul Kumar Sharma 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. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that after exclusion of the offence under Section 111(2) BNS during investigation, the remaining offences are punishable with imprisonment up to seven years. It is further submitted that except for the recovery of one mobile phone from the applicant, nothing incriminating has been recovered. The applicant has no criminal antecedents and is languishing in jail since 12.06.2025. It is further submitted that 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 AGA, has opposed the bail application on the ground that substantial recovery has been made from the co-accused persons. On due consideration of the facts that the applicant has no criminal antecedents; after exclusion of Section 111(2) BNS the remaining offences are triable by the Magistrate; there is no independent witness to the alleged recovery; and the applicant is in custody since 12.06.2025, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant Ritesh Singh involved in Crime no: 106/2025, U/S:317(2), 318 (4), 111(2) B, 61 (2) OF BNS & 66 D OF IT ACT, Police station: Cyber Crime, District-Lucknow 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. (ii) The applicant will not pressurize/ intimidate the prosecution witness. (iii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. (iv) 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. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (v) The applicant 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 in accordance with law. (vi) 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. (now Section 84 BNSS) is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law under Section 174-A IPC (now Section 209 of BNS). It is clarified that the observations made in this order are confined to the present bail application and shall have no bearing on the merits of the trial. Order Date :- 22.8.2025 R.C.
