The learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that two co- accused persons, namely, Amitabh Kumar Srivastava and Meera Srivastava, have been granted bail and copies of their bail orders have been annexed as Annexure No. 2 and 3 of the affidavit filed in support of the bail application. 8. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the FIR alleges non-return of benefits in respect of the investment made in a company; the applicant was merely working as an agent in the company and he was neither director nor any principal position holder in the company, coupled with the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 23.07.2025 whereas the investigation already stands concluded and that two co-accused persons have already been granted bail, I am of the view that the applicant is also entitled to be released on bail. 9. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 10. Let the applicant- Tejnarayan Shukla 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 Magistrate/Court concerned, subject to the 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.
