HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 8626 of 2025 Court No. - 12 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. Learned counsel for the applicant claims parity with the bail order of co- accused Ritesh, who has been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 22.8.2025 passed in Bail Application No.7754 of 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; the applicant is in custody since 12.06.2025; co-accused Ritesh Singh has already been granted bail by this Court, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.
