Counsel for Applicant :- Jitendra Kumar Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal,J. 1. Heard Sri Jitendra Kumar, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Rajiv Kumar Singh, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material available on record. 2. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime/F.I.R No. 0634 of 2024, under Sections 318(4), 336(3), 340(2), 61(2), 319(2), 338 of B.N.S., Police Station - Kotwali, District - Ballia, during the pendency of trial. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. It is further submitted that domicile certificate has been recovered from the possession of the applicant and merely on the basis of alleged recovery, he has been falsely implicated. There was no public witness of the alleged recovery and no one came forward to support the allegation that applicant was involved in preparing forged domicile certificate. The applicant is a law abiding citizen and is languishing in jail since 30.12.2024 having no criminal history. Charge has already been submitted against the applicant,therefore, there is no requirement of custodial interrogation. In case, they are granted bail, they will not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. 4. On the other hand, learned A.G.A. for the State opposed the prayer for bail, but he could not dispute the aforesaid fact. 5. Thus, considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the nature of offence, evidence, complicity of accused and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. 6. Let the applicant- Shashi Bhushan Upadhyay, involved in the aforementioned crime be released on bail, on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned, with the following conditions:- i. The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. ii. The applicant shall cooperate in the trial/investigation sincerely without seeking any adjournment. iii. The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity or commission of any crime after being released on bail. iv. The applicant shall attend in accordance with the conditions of the bond executed by him. 7. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. 8. Identity, status and residence proof of the applicant and sureties be verified by the court concerned before the bonds are accepted.
