Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:69291 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 6161 of 2025 Applicant :- Mannan Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Sanjay Kumar Srivastava Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Sri Sanjay Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Anil Kumar Singh, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. The present bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed on behalf of applicant, Mannan with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 06 of 2025, under Section 5/8 U.P. Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955 & Section 271 and 325 of B.N.S.S., 2023, Police Station- Pilakhuwa, District- Hapur.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that 200 kg been is alleged to have been recovered, but there is no independent witness of the recovery. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from possession of the applicant. Offence is triable by magistrate. The applicant is languishing in jail since 16.01.2025 and he has criminal antecedent of four cases and the same are duly explained in para 13 of the bail application. It is further submitted that 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. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. On due consideration to the fact that there is no independent witnesses of the alleged recovery, coupled with the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 16.01.2025 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit
case for enlarging the applicants on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant- Mannan involved in the aforesaid case crime 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. (iii) 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. (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. (vi) In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail during trial, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law.
