HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 32393 of 2025 Court No. - 67 HON'BLE KRISHAN PAHAL, J. 1. List has been revised. 2. Heard Sri Mahesh Chandra Tiwari, learned counsel for applicant, Sri Arun Kumar Mishra, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in Case Crime No.66 of 2022, under Sections 302 and 120b IPC, Police Station Sadar Bazar, District Agra with the prayer to enlarge him on bail. 4. This is the second bail application on behalf of the applicant. The first one was rejected by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 4.1.2023 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.23538 of 2022. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that as a new ground, it is the period of incarceration on which the applicant is entitled for bail as he is in jail since 21.02.2022 and about three and half years have passed since his incarceration. Only six witnesses have been examined to date, as such, there is no likelihood of conclusion of trial in near future. The applicant is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 6. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the trial is almost at its logical end as in all six witnesses have been examined. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Kiran Tiwari, Mahesh Chandra Tiwari Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Anuragdeep Alias Anna .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) 7. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that no new ground is there for pressing the second bail application, I do not find it a fit case for grant of bail to the applicant. The bail application is found devoid of merits and is, accordingly, rejected. 8. However, it is directed that the aforesaid case pending before the trial court be decided expeditiously as early as possible in view of the principle as has been laid down in the recent judgments of the Supreme Court in the cases of Vinod Kumar vs. State of Punjab; 2015 (3) SCC 220 and Hussain and Another vs. Union of India; (2017) 5 SCC 702, if there is no legal impediment. 9. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial.
