Counsel for Applicant :- Ananya Upadhyay,Rakesh Chandra Upadhyay Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Ajay 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- applicants, Dhananjay Singh Chauhan and Ram Niwas @ Shriniwas, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 14 of 2024, under Sections 307 IPC & Section 3/25, 27 Arms Act, Police Station- Madihan, District- Mirzapur. Learned counsel for the applicants argued that the accused- applicants are innocent. They have been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and are languishing in jail since 10.12.2024. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that it is a no injury case as no police personnel has received any injury. The applicant himself has sustained injury. Recovery of two pistol, two live cartridge and two empty cartridge of 315 bore has been shown, but the same are totally false and fabricated. The applicant has criminal antecedent of one case 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-applicants, Dhananjay Singh Chauhan and Ram Niwas @ Shriniwas, 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 applicants will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless their 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 their bail.
