Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:61560 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 5755 of 2025 Applicant :- Lokesh Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Rakesh Kumar Verma Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Shri Rakesh Kumar Verma, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Puneet Kumar Singh, learned AGA for the State- respondents and perused the record. This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant, Lokesh, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 361 of 2024, under Sections 311, 317(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 & Section 4/25 Arms Act, Police Station- Hapur Dehat, District- Hapur. Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 02.12.2024. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that similarly placed co- accused, namely, Amit, Abhishek and Prabhakar have already been enlarged on bail of this Court by orders dated 01.04.2025, 02.04.2025 and 19.03.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 10615 of 2025, 10645 of 2025 and 9129 of 2025 respectively, copy of the bail orders produced by learned counsel for the applicant are taken on record. He further submitted that since the role of the applicant is identical to that of co- accused, Amit, Abhishek and Prabhakar who have already been enlarged on bail, he is also entitled to be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. He has criminal antecedent of five cases and the same are duly explained in para 14 of the bail application and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the accused-applicant, Lokesh, involved in above mentioned case crime number be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant will not tamper with the evidence. 2. The applicant will not indulge in any criminal activity. 3. The applicant will not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses and co-operate in the trial. 4. The applicant will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless his personal appearance is exempted through counsel by the court concerned. In the event of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the court below will be at liberty to proceed to cancel his bail.
