1. Heard Shri Manoj Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the applicant, Ms. Kamlesh Kumari, the learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the records. 2. The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.61 of 2025 under Sections 318(4), 319(2), 336(3), 338, 340(2), 317(2) of B.N.S. I.P.C. registered at Police Station- Khargupur, District- Gonda. 3. The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of an F.I.R. lodged on 02.04.2025 against nine named persons, including the applicant and two other unnamed persons, stating that a sale deed in respect of one Malti Devi was executed by setting up some imposter. Later on, it transpired and it came to light in the investigation that the sale deed has been executed by the applicant. 4. In the affidavit filed in support of the bail application, it has been stated that the applicant is an innocent woman having no criminal history and she has been falsely implicated in the present case. 5. During investigation, the Investigating Officer recorded statement of Bank Manager who has stated that a bank account was opened in the name of Malti Devi in which Rs.29 lakhs have been transferred but later on, it transpired that the real name of the account holder is Kajal Devi w/o Mishri Lal. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant has not received any monetary benefit due to execution of the sale deed. 7. Eight co-accused persons have been granted bail in the present case. Copies of bail orders of co-accused Raju Mishra, Nikhil Tripathi, Ashok Kumar Chauhan and Kaptan Yadave have been annexed with the bail application and three other co-
accused persons Durga Prasad Rao, Ashok Yadav and Shanti Devi have also been granted bail. 8. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application and he has submitted that allegations have been established during investigation and a charge-sheet has been submitted on
30.06.2025. 9.
Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the applicant has not received any monetary benefit from execution of the alleged sale deed and that eight co-accused persons have been granted bail whereas the applicant is a young woman having no criminal history, she is languishing in jail since 02.06.2025 whereas the investigation stands concluded, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid case. 10. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 11. Let the applicant- Mayawati be released on bail in the aforementioned case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Magistrate/Court concerned, subject to following conditions:- (i) the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; (ii) the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses; (iii) the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial Court. .
