Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:31377 Court No. - 67 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 7562 of 2025 Applicant :- Shahban Khan Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Manoj Kumar Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Vivek Varma,J. 1. Heard counsel for the applicant, Sri V.P. Tripathi, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. 2. The instant bail application, under Section 483 B.N.S.S., has been filed with a prayer to enlarge the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 07 of 2025, under Sections 318, 319, 338, 336, 340, 317 of B.N.S., Police Station- Saini, District- Kaushambi, during pendency of the trial. 3. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. False recovery of a motorcycle, four Adhar cards, five ATM cards, Indian currency of Rs. 1,000/- and a mobile phone has been shown from the applicant. There is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. The criminal history of the applicant has been explained in para no. 21 of the bail application. The applicant is in jail since 07.01.2025. In case he is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the said liberty. 4. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid facts from the record. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the record this Court prima facie finds that there is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. At this stage, there is no substantive evidence against the applicant. Further, the applicant has remained confined for almost two months and there is no hope of early conclusion of trial, more so when no reasonable apprehension has been brought to the fore by the State that the applicant, if enlarged on bail, would either tamper with the evidence or delay the trial or intimidate the witness, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. 6. Let the applicant, Shahban Khan involved in the aforesaid case be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of court concerned on the following conditions that: i. the applicant shall not temper with the prosecution evidence; ii. the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witness; and, iii. the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court. 7. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to move bail cancellation application before this Court.
