HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 2013 of 2025 Court No. - 15 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. 1.Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State and perused the record. 2.It is alleged in the prosecution case that brother of the informant is working as Driver/Labour with Sub Contractor Saras Infra Project at under-construction NH-6 Kanpur Lucknow Express Way at Achalganj, Unnao. On 19.11.2024 at about 9.30p.m., behind Sunil Brick Field, the applicant as well as the co-accused Deshan Kumar started abusing his brother. On being opposed, they caught hold of him and with an intent to kill stabbed him, due to that, he was seriously injured. 3.Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the victim has been examined before the trial court where he has been declared hostile during examination-in-chief. There is no other witness to the incident. In the statement before the investigating officer, the role of causing stab injury by knife is not on the applicant; rather on the co-accused Keshan Kumar. The applicant has no previous criminal history. The applicant is in jail since 22.11.2024. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released on bail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. 4.Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Srees Kumar Srivastava Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Chandrashekhar .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Deptt. Home Lko. .....Opposite Party(s) aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. 5.Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the fact that the applicant has no criminal history, injured witness has turned hostile, there is no chance of tampering the evidence, the injury report of the injured, arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, the period for which the applicant is in jail and without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. 6.Let the applicant Chandrashekhar, involved in Case Crime No.362 of 2024 under sections 109, 352 BNS, P.S. Achalganj, district Unnao, be released on bail 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 which are being imposed in the interest of justice:- (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial. (ii) The applicant will not pressurize/ intimidate the prosecution witness.

(iv) 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. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (v) 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 I.P.C. (now 269 BNS) (vi) 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. (now 84 BNSS) is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the court on BAIL No. 2013 of 2025 2 the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A I.P.C. (now 209 BNS). 7.The application is allowed accordingly. It is clarified that the observations made in this order are confined to the present bail application and shall have no bearing on the merit of the trial.
