HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 10487 of 2025
Court No. - 12 HON'BLE PANKAJ BHATIA, J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the record. 2. The applicant seeks enlargement on bail in FIR No.349 of 2025, under Section 3(5), 103(1), 351(3) BNS, P.S. Sandi, District Hardoi. 3. In terms of the FIR allegations were levelled that brother of the informant aged about 45 years was going towards his village on 10.07.2025 and on the main road as he reached near a particular place, all the accused who were four in number, caused injuries with the use of Bhala because of which he sustained substantial injuries and thereafter died. Postmortem report on record indicates presence of as many as seven injuries which are lacerated wounds on the head, stab wound on the thigh and knee joints. 4. In the light of the said, learned counsel for the applicant draws my attention to the statement of the informant wherein he had reiterated the FIR version. My attention was also drawn to the statement of the eyewitness wherein he stated that on account of a fight in between the parties one Shishupal out of anger had attacked the deceased on his dead with a Fawda which resulted in his death. In the light of the said, it is proposed to be argued that no weapon was assigned to the applicant. There is no evidence to suggest that the applicant had caused any of the injuries on the body of the deceased and no weapon has also been Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Adarsh Pratap Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Chandra Prakash Singh Ankit .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Deptt. Of Home Lko. And Another .....Opposite Party(s)
recovered from the applicant. The applicant is aged about 19 years and has been falsely implicated. 5. Learned AGA has opposed the bail application. 6. Considering the submissions made at the Bar and the opposition of learned AGA, prima-facie, the cause of death is assigned to the injuries noticed on the head which according to the eyewitness were assigned to the co-accused Shishupal who had allegedly caused the said in the fit of anger. 7.
As no role has been assigned to the applicant of causing any of the offence and no recovery of any weapon has been made from the applicant, the applicant who is in custody since 16.07.2025 and has no criminal antecedents, is entitled to be enlarged on bail. In view thereof, the application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant Ankit be released on bail in aforesaid FIR number on his furnishing a personal bond with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of court concerned with the following conditions: (a) The applicant shall execute a bond to undertake to attend the hearings; (b) The applicant shall not commit any offence similar to the offence of which he is accused or suspected of the commission; and (c) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence.
