HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 34426 of 2025 Court No. - 68 HON'BLE ASHUTOSH SRIVASTAVA, J. Heard Shri Arpit Mishra, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Yagvalk Pandey, learned AGA for the State-respondents and perused the record. This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused-applicant, Rais Alias Mohd. Rais, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 143 of 1996, under Sections 18/20 of NDPS Act, Police Station Kidwai Nagar, District Kanpur Nagar, during the pendency of the trial before the Court below. Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused-applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 29.8.2025. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that earlier applicant was on bail. But due to non appearance before the Court below, non bailable warrant against the applicant was issued. When the applicant came to knowledge about issuance of non bailable warrant, he surrendered himself before the Court below and since then he is in judicial custody. He has no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Arpit Mishra Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.
