1. Heard Sri Satya Prakash Chaturvedi, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Rajeev Dhar Dwivedi, learned AGA for the State-respondent.
2. The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 759 of 2024, under Sections 303(2), 317(2), 317(4), 317(5), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 111 BNS, Police Station- Kotwali Orai District- Jalaun during pendency of the trial in the court below.
3. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that on the basis of false allegation, applicant has been made accused in the present matter along with several others including co-accused Suryanshu Alias Surya and Pravesh Vishwakarma and after considering entire
facts of the case in detail, co-accused Suryanshu Alias Surya and Pravesh Vishwakarma have been released on bail by this Court vide orders dated 18.03.2025 and 15.04.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 9016 of 2025 and 12224 of 2025 and on facts, case of applicant is at par with them. 4. He further submitted that however, apart form the present case, applicant is having criminal history of two other cases but he was not having any previous criminal history and along with the present case simultaneously, he was made accused in both these cases and he is in jail in the present matter since 17.11.2024 i.e. for last six months. 5. Per contra, learned AGA however, opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the argument on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the
record of the case. 7. Considering the argument advanced by learned counsel for the applicant and the fact that similarly placed co-accused Suryanshu Alias Surya and Pravesh Vishwakarma have been released on bail by this Court and applicant was not having any previous criminal history and he is in jail in the present matter for last six months, in my view applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 8. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant- Akash Rajpoot be released on bail in the aforesaid case on 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 appear before the trial court on the dates fixed, unless his personal presence is exempted.

(iii) The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal and anti-social activity. 10. In case of breach of any of the above condition, the prosecution will be at liberty to move an application before this Court for cancellation of the bail of the applicant. 11.
