Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:48682 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 10502 of 2025 Applicant :- Prem Singh Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Kamlesh Kumar Dwivedi,Saurabh Dwivedi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Shri Saurabh Dwivedi, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Mithlesh Kumar, 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, Prem Singh, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 368 of 2024, under Sections 109 (1), 190, 191 (2), 191 (3), 115 (2), 352, 351 (3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Police Station Babina, District Jhansi. 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 13.12.2024. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that similarly circumstanced co-accused Jitendra Singh, has already been enlarged on bail by co-ordinate Bench of this Court on 3.1.2025 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 47319 of 2024. He has 05 cases of criminal antecedent, which has satisfactorily been explained and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Per contra learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but submits that similarly circumstanced aforesaid co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court. 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, Prem Singh, 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. 4. The applicant will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless his 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 his bail. Order Date :- 5.4.2025 Ravi Prakash (Ashutosh Srivastava, J.)
