HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 11232 of 2025 Court No. - 15 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. Counter affidavit filed today is taken on record. Heard learned counsel for the accused-applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. None appeared for the complainant. In the FIR, it is alleged that sister of the informant went missing since 09.06.2025 and subsequently returned on 25.07.2025. The victim stated that she had been enticed away to Haiderabad upon threatening by accused Haider Ali, who had beaten her and forced her to marry after conversion. The victim refused to undergo medical examination. The only role attributed to the applicant is that he accompanied the victim to Haiderabad. No other allegations have been made by the victim against the applicant. His case stands on a better footing than that of the co-accused. Submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that the main allegation of committing the offence is on the co-accused Haider Ali, who has already been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 26.11.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Case No.11472 of 2025. It has been further submitted that applicant is in jail since 29.07.2025 and, if facility of bail is granted, there is no apprehension that he will flee from the judicial process and he will abide by the orders passed by the Court below and will co-operate in speedy trial of the case. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but has not disputed the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Ashish Kumar Dubey Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Satyendra Nath Mishra Ajeet Pal .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. .....Opposite Party(s) factual submissions made by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant. On due consideration of the bail order of the co-accused, role assigned to the applicant, statement of the victim recorded under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS and applicant having no criminal history has been in jail since 29.07.2025, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant-Ajeet Pal involved in Case Crime/FIR No. 77 of 2025 under Section 137(2), 87, 115(2) BNS, & 3, 5(1) of U.P. Prohibition of Unlawful Coversion of Religion Act, Police Station-Piparpur, District- Amethi, be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Magistrate/Court concerned, subject to 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. Any other condition(s) which the trial court/concerned court may deem fit and proper, in the circumstances of the case, may also be imposed. It is clarified that the observations made in this order are confined to the present bail application and shall have no bearing on the merits of the trial.
