Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. It is alleged in the prosecution case that that one Balak Das has sold plot No.3/250 Vinamra Khand, Gomti Nagar Yojana, Lucknow on 22.10.2020 in favour of one Rekha Nishad and in the sale deed it has been averred that this property has been purchased by him through LDA by a registered sale-deed dated 9.11.2000 which is forged and fabricated. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that co-accused Balak Das, who was the purchaser, has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 16.04.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 404 of 2025. Similarly, another co-accused, Ram Bahadur Singh, has also been enlarged on bail vide order dated 02.07.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 5928 of 2025. The applicant, therefore, seeks parity with the aforesaid orders of the co-accused. It is further submitted that the applicant is merely a bona fide witness in the matter. The offences alleged are triable by a Magistrate. It is also contended that prior to the lodging of the present FIR, the applicant had no criminal history. After his arrest, however, two cases were initially registered against him, followed by three more. Moreover, no civil suit for cancellation of the sale deed in question has been instituted.

Achaleshwar Gupta @ Bablu Gupta .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Addl. Chief Secy. (Home) Lko. .....Opposite Party(s) It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail 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. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. On due consideration to the facts that the aforementioned co-accused have already been granted bail, the offences are triable by a Magistrate, the charge sheet has been filed, and the applicant is in custody since 28.05.2025, I am of the view that it is a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant Achaleshwar Gupta @ Bablu Gupta involved in Case Crime No.818 of 2022 under sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B I.P.C., P.S.

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.
