HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 10797 of 2025 Court No. - 15 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record. 2. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that the District Co-operative Bank Headquarters of the bank telephoned the applicant, i.e the Bank Manager of Salarpur branch to deposit the cash in the headquarters banker's account. On 16.07.2025 also, when again the phone came, the applicant directed his cashier Ran Vijay Singh to deposit the money. Later, there was a scuffle between the applicant and the cashier and he attacked the applicant with a knife due to which the applicant got injured. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the cashier Ran Vijay Singh absconded, after attacking the applicant, along with a cash of Rs. 6,00,819/-. The F.I.R to that incident has already been registered. In that case, the applicant has been made the accused only because he is the bank manager and an inquiry was also instituted by the bank. The inquiry report dated 16.07.2025, submitted on 17.07.2025 shows that when the two member inquiry committee reached the spot, they found that the applicant was in the injured condition in the branch of Salarpur and some cash was lying on the table of the cashier and the locker was open. The cashier Ranvijay Singh had absconded and a total amount of Rs. 6,00,819 /- had been found missing. 4. He further submits that the offences are triable by the Magistrate. The applicant has no criminal antecedents and he languishing in jail since 07.10.2025. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Manoj Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Badrish Kumar Singh .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko .....Opposite Party(s) aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and also considering the nature of allegations, arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, as also the period for which the applicant is in jail i.e. since 07.10.2025; as also the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents; the fact that offences are triable by the Magistrate, also considering the role assigned to the applicant and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant Badrish Kumar Singh, involved in Case Crime/FIR No. 183 of 2025, Under Sections- 316(5) B.N.S., Police Station- Dargah Shareef, District- Bahraich, 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.
