Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:30184 Court No. - 64 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 4873 of 2025 Applicant :- Rahul Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Kamla Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Sanjay Kumar Singh,J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned Additional Government Advocate representing the State and perused the record.
2. The instant bail application under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. has been filed on behalf of applicant-Rahul with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 255 of 2024, under Sections 85, 80(2) of B.N.S. and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, Police Station Nautanwa, District Maharajganj, during the pendency of trial.
3. At the outset, learned Additional Government Advocate pointed out that apart from this case, applicant has criminal history of one case being Case Crime No. 322 of 2019, under Sections 323, 504, 506 I.P.C., Police Station Nautanwa, District Maharajganj, whereas no disclosure has been made about the said case in the bail application.
4. On putting query, learned counsel for the applicant could not dispute the aforesaid submission of learned Additional Government Advocate and submits that deponent of this case is real brother of the applicant and he was not aware about criminal history of the applicant, therefore, the same has not been mentioned.
5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I find that the applicant has not come up with clean hands as he has suppressed and concealed the material
facts about his criminal history, which is also one of the relevant aspect for considering the bail prayer of the applicant.
6. Accordingly, the instant bail application is rejected without going into the merit of the case.
7. However, it is open for the applicant to move second bail application with correct facts.
8. Office is directed to return the certified copy of the F.I.R. dated 17.08.2024 to the counsel for the applicant within three days after retaining photocopy of the same on record.
