Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:53119 Court No. - 66 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 11681 of 2025 Applicant :- Amit Nagar Alias Aunjay Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Dheeraj Singh (Bohra) Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Sameer Jain,J.
1. Sri Alok Kumar Srivastava, learned Advocate, filed power on behalf of the informant, which is taken on record. 2. Heard Sri Dheeraj Singh Bohra, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Alok Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel for the informant and Sri Jhamman Ram, learned AGA-I, for the State. 3. The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 336 of 2024, under Sections 103(1), 115(2), 117(2) and 74 BNS, Police Station Babugarh, District Hapur, during pendency of the trial. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that on the basis of false allegation applicant has been made accused in the present matter along with three others including co-accused Ravi Nagar and after considering entire facts in detail co-accused Ravi Nagar has been released on bail by this Court vide order dated 27.3.2025 passed in Criminal Misc.Bail Application No. 10290 of 2025. 5. He next submits that even today bail application of co-accused Arvind alias Arvind Nagar has also been allowed by this Court with a very detailed order after considering entire facts of the case, vide Criminal Misc.Bail Application No. 11679 of 2025 and case of applicant is also exactly at par with him. 6. He further submits that as far as merit of the case is concerned, however, as per allegation applicant and others made assault upon the deceased but post mortem report suggests that deceased did not succumb to alleged injuries and his death could not be ascertained and his viscera was preserved but there is no allegation that either applicant or any other accused administered poison to him and, therefore, even if in the viscera it is found that deceased died due to consumption of poison then also applicant cannot be held liable. 7. He further submits that however, apart from the present case applicant is also having criminal history of one another case but that case relates to minor offence and in that case applicant is on bail. 8. He further submits that in the present matter applicant is in jail since 16.11.2024. 9.
Per contra, learned AGA as well as learned counsel for the informant however vehemently opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute, co-accused Ravi Nagar and Arvind Nagar have been enlarged on bail and case of applicant is at par with them. 10. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 11. Considering the facts of the case, this Court finds merit in the argument advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant that prima facie there is no evidence on record which can suggest that due to alleged assault made by applicant and others including co- accused Ravi Nagar and Arvind Nagar, deceased died. 12. Further, co-accused Ravi Nagar and Arvind alias Arvind Nagar have already been released on bail by this Court and case of applicant is at par with them. 13. Further, however, apart from the present case applicant is
having criminal history of one another case but his criminal history has been explained in the instant bail application and that case relates to minor offence. 14. Further, applicant is in jail in the present matter since
16.11.2024. 15. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, discussed above, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 16. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 17. Let the applicant-Amit Nagar @ Aunjay, 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. (ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or any police officer or tamper with the evidence. (iii) The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal and anti-social activity. 18.
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. 19. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail
application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial. Order Date :- 10.4.2025 SKM Digitally signed by :- SHRAVANA KUMAR MISHRA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
