The applicant has been arrested merely on the basis of suspicion. Learned counsel has further drawn the attention of the Court to the recovery memo, which shows that from the possession of the applicant one allegedly forged admit card belonging to Ashish Ranjan was recovered, along with an ID card, Aadhaar card, credit card, etc. It is submitted that the said recovery is not connected with the present crime. It is further submitted that the co-accused Bhagirath Sharma @ Chandan has been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 20.11.2025 passed in Bail Application No.11306 of 2025.

Mukesh Kumar .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. .....Opposite Party(s) 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. has opposed the bail application and submitted that a forged Aadhaar card of Ashish Ranjan was recovered from the applicant; however, he could not dispute the fact that the applicant is neither a solver nor the beneficiary of the alleged examination. On due consideration of the bail order of the co-accused Bhagirath Sharma @ Chandan, and the fact that the alleged recovery is not linked with the present case, there is no independent witness to the recovery, the applicant has no criminal antecedents, and he is in jail since 07.10.2025, I am of the view that this is a fit case for granting bail to the applicant. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
