HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 461 of 2025 Court No. - 12 HON'BLE PANKAJ BHATIA, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the record. 2. The applicant seeks enlargement on bail in FIR No.614 of 2019, under Section 302, 120B IPC, P.S. Mohammadi, District Kheri. 3. In terms of the FIR it was alleged that on the date of the incident, son of the informant was sleeping in room and at night, grand daughter of the informant informed him that her father was killed with the use of a sharp edged weapon. 4. Submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant is in custody since 28.11.2019 and has no criminal history except for a case under the Arms Act of the year 2018. It is further argued that all the fact witnesses have already been examined. 5. Learned AGA has opposed the bail application. 6. Considering the fact that all the fact witnesses have been examined and the applicant has no substantial criminal antecedents except for a case under the Arms Act, there is no material to suggest that the applicant, if enlarged on bail, can have any adverse effect on trial. As such, considering the pre- trial detention of the applicant to be of almost six years without any criminal antecedents, the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. In view thereof, the application is allowed. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Alok Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Puse .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy.
