Heard Sri Rahul Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Arun Verma, learned AGA for the State and the learned counsel for the complainant. Supplementary affidavit filed today is taken on record. The present applicant is in jail since 24.06.2024, in case crime no. 162 of 2024, under Sections 302, 323 of IPC at Police Station Auras District Unnao. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the present applicant has been falsely implicated as he has not committed any offence as alleged. At the very outside, Sri Rahul Singh has stated that the present applicant is a student of class 12th and he has been given the role of catching hold of his uncle to whom his father has killed through the butt of spade. In his supplementary affidavit, the marksheet of the present applicant has been filed. The present applicant is having no criminal history of any kind whatsoever. As a matter of fact, the main role to kill the victim has been attributed to his father who is also in jail. If the present applicant is released on bail, he would be able to pursue his studies and he further undertakes that he shall cooperate in the trial proceedings and shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Further, the applicant shall abide by all terms and conditions of the bail order, the applicant may be enlarged on bail. Learned AGA for the State has also opposed the bail application but could not dispute the submission of the learned counsel for the applicant. Without entering into merits of the issue, considering the arguments of learned counsel for the parties; contents and allegations of the FIR and the fact that the present applicant is languishing in jail since 24.06.2024; the present applicant is the student of class 12th and the main role of killing the victim has been attributed to his father, who is in jail; there is no likelihood to conclude the trial in the near future; and undertaking of the applicant that he shall cooperate in the trial proceedings and shall not misuse the liberty of bail, I find it appropriate to release the applicant on bail. The bail application is allowed. Let the applicant- Akhilesh, be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number 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:- (i) 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.

(ii) 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 under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code. (iii) 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. is issued and the applicants fail 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 of the Indian Penal Code.
