Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:34864 Court No. - 67 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 6266 of 2025 Applicant :- Sunil Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Raghvendra Prakash Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Vivek Varma,J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Anupam Anand, learned brief holder for the State-respondent and perused the record. 2. The instant bail application under Section 483 BNSS has been filed with a prayer to enlarge the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 420 of 2024, under Sections 411, 413, 414, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC, Police Station Kotwali, District Azamgarh, during the pendency of trial. 3. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. False recovery of a motorcycle and motorcycle parts has been shown from the possession of the applicant. There is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. The co-accused Shyam Narayan Singh has been granted bail by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 04.09.2024 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 32644 of 2024. The applicant claims parity. Criminal history of the applicant has been explained in paragraphs 14 and 15 of the affidavit. The applicant is in jail since 21.07.2024 and in case he is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the said liberty. 4. Learned brief holder for the State has opposed the prayer for bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Having heard counsel for the parties and having perused the record, this Court prima facie finds that there is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. The co-accused Shyam Narayan Singh has been granted bail by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court. The applicant has remained confined for more than seven months and after submission of the charge-sheet and there is no hope of early conclusion of trial, more so when no reasonable apprehension has been brought to the fore by the State that the
applicant, if enlarged on bail, would either tamper with the evidence or delay the trial or intimidate the witness, without commenting on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. 6.
6. Let the applicant Sunil involved in the aforesaid case 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 subject to the conditions that he: (i) shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court; (ii) shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; (iii) shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses. 7. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to move bail cancellation application before this Court.
