Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:34460 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 8325 of 2025 Applicant :- Reena Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Maohammd Nadeem Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Mohammad Nadeem, learned counsel for the applicant and Shri S.K. Ojha, learned AGA for the State-respondents and perused the record. This bail application under Section 483 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant, Reena, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 632 of 2024, under Section 191 (2), 191 (3), 109 (1), 190, 352, 351 (3), 117 (2), 118 (1) B.N.S. and Section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1960, Police Station-Bahjoi, District- Sambhal.
Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. She has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number. First Information Report has been lodged on 16.11.2024 against seven named persons including the applicant with the allegation that accused persons have attacked a bull with Bhala, when the informant said them to give treatment they attacked upon them. General role has been assigned to the applicant. No specific role has been assigned against the applicant. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from the applicant. Applicant is in jail since 17.02.2025. The applicant has no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of her fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Co- accused namely Mustafa and Usman have already been released on bail vide orders dated 14.02.2025 and 4.3.2025 passed by this Court in Crl. Misc. Bail Application Nos. 1846 of 2025 and 7510 of 2025. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed, but could not dispute the fact that no specific role has been assigned to the applicant. Considering all those 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, Reena, involved in above mentioned case crime number be released on bail, on her 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 her 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 her bail.
