The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of F.I.R. lodged on 21.07.2025 against six named persons, not including the applicant and some unnamed persons, stating that the accused persons had threatened one Jagannath Vishwakarma for executing a sale deed in favour of one of the named accused persons Vipin Pandey. He alleged that the accused persons had assaulted Jagannath Vishwakarma, Brijesh Tiwarli, Arun Kumar Mishra and Aditya Kumar Mishra and the incident is recorded in the CCTV footage. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has not been previously convicted and he has no prior criminal antecedent(s) before lodging of this FIR. It is submitted that the two injured persons have not assigned any role to the present applicant. He further submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated and the applicant is ready to give undertaking for cooperation in the investigation. He next submits that the applicant is in jail since 23.07.2025 and investigation in the case is pending. He also submits that the applicant undertakes that in case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of the same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. 4.

Jay Prakash Maurya .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Deptt. Lko. .....Opposite Party(s) bench of this court in Criminal Misc Bail Application No. 8649 of 2025 and Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 8972 of 2024 vide orders dated 15.09.2025 and 22.09.2025 respectively, which are annexed as Annexure No. 7 to the bail application. 5. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail, however, could not dispute the fact that no role to the applicant has been assigned by both the injured persons and the applicant is not a previous convict and the name of the applicant has been surfaced on the basis of statement(s) of Balmukund Mishra and Jagannath Vishwakarma, who have alleged that the applicant was part of conspiracy. 6. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record, the two injured persons namely Arun Kumar Mishra and Aditya Kumar Mishra have not assigned any role to the applicant, there appears to be no chance of tampering the prosecution evidence coupled with the fact that the applicant has no prior criminal history; he is languishing in jail since 23.07.2025 as also the undertaking by the applicant to cooperate in the investigation and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant- Jai Prakash Maurya involved in Case Crime No. 0219 of 2025, under Sections 3(5), 191(2), 191(3), 190, 115(2), 352, 35193), 109(1), 61(2), 140(2), 62 of B.N.S. and Section 7 of Criminal Law Amendment Act, Police Station- Patti, District- Pratapgarh, 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.
