In the prosecution case, it is alleged that the informant runs a bussiness of drone cameras and video recording in marriage parties. The incident in question occurred on 23.05.2025 at about 1:45 a.m. It is stated that the cousin brother of the informant, after completing a video recording assignment, was returning home on his motorcycle. When he reached near the canal, three unknown persons riding a motorcycle hit his vehicle, causing him to fall. Taking advantage of the situation, they snatched the bag containing the drone camera and fled from the spot. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He is not named in the FIR and is not a previous convict. It is further submitted that the name of the applicant has surfaced only in the confessional statement of co-accused Dinesh Patel. No recovery has been made from the applicant; rather, the recovery has been effected from co-accused Raju Patel and Dinesh Patel. The applicant has been in custody since 23.07.2025. It is also submitted that on the basis of the present case, the applicant has been falsely implicated in Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Praveen Shukla Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.

It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released on bail 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 prayer of the applicant but could not dispute the facts mentioned above. I have considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties as well as perused the record. On due consideration of the facts that the applicant is in custody since 23.07.2025, no recovery has been made from him, and he is not named in the FIR, 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. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant Sachin Patel be released on bail in aforesaid first information report number subject to his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court below concerned with the following conditions: (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial. (ii) The applicant will not pressurize/ intimidate the prosecution witness.

(iv) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (v) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date BAIL No. 9582 of 2025 2 fixed, either personally or through his counsel.
