This bail application under Section 483 BNSS has been moved on behalf of accused-applicant, Irfan Khan @ Irfan Mistri, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 05 of 2025, under Sections 109, 61 (2) BNS & Section 3/25 Arms Act, Police Station Fatehpur Sikri, District Agra. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this case crime number and is languishing in jail since 17.01.2025. He has no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR and during course of investigation, investigating officer has not collected sufficient credible and cogent evidence against the applicant. On 11.01.2025 injured was medically examined and as per the medical examination report, the injuries sustained by the injured are simple in nature and not on the vital part. The role of firing has been assigned to the applicant and one tamancha 12 bor has been recovered from his possession. The entire allegation made in the FIR is totally false and concocted. Hence, bail has been prayed for. 4. Learned AGA as well as learned counsel for the first informant have vehemently opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts. 5. 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. 6. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 7. Let the accused-applicant, Irfan Khan @ Irfan Mistri, 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: i.
