Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:42639 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 9697 of 2025 Applicant :- Prikesh Yadav Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Brijesh Kumar Tiwari Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Shri Brijesh Kumar Tiwari, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri R.K. Gupta, learned AGA for the State-respondents and perused the record. This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant, Prikesh Yadav, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 28 of 2025, under Sections 303(2), 109, 61(2), 317(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 2/3 of Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, Police Station- Rajgarh, District- Mirzapur.
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 20.02.2025.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is driver of the vehicle bearing registration no. UP 64 CT 4303 which was carrying sub-mineral gravel (Gitti) for transport. He next submits that it is a no injury case. The applicant 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. Co- accused, namely, Ranjeet Pandey and Sunil Chaubey, have already been enlarged on bail by the court below vide order dated
03.03.2025. 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, Prikesh Yadav, 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.
