This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant, Arjun Singh, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 653 of 2024, under Sections 61(2)(ka), 318(4), 319(2), 336(3), 338, 340(2), 303(2), 317(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Section 3(1)/58/72(6) of U.P. Minor Mineral Concession Rules, Section 4/21 of Mines and Minerals Act and Section 3 of Damages of Public Property Act, Police Station- Robertsganj, District- Sonbhadra. 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 23.01.2025. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is not named in the FIR. He further submits that the cognizance of such offence (Mines and Minerals Act) can be taken only on a complaint made in writing and not by lodging of an FIR, but no complaint has been lodged till date. 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-applicant, Arjun Singh, 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.
