1. Heard counsel for the applicant, Sri V.P. Tripathi, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 2. The instant application has been filed with the prayer to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant in Case Crime No. 24 of 2025 under Sections 123, 308(2), 352, 351(2) of B.N.S., Police Station Kotwali Jalaun District Jalaun. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. Earlier, the applicant lodged a complaint on 23.01.2025 against the victim and his family members before the Superintendent of Police, Jalaun at Orai. In counterblast to the said proceedings, the instant prosecution has been instituted against the applicant. In the alleged incident, the victim has not received any injury. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to establish that the victim out of fear delivered jewellery to the applicant, and further there is also no evidence, that the victim was administered intoxicating material by the applicant. No indecent photograph of the victim has been collected by the Investigating Officer. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. The investigation is still pending. It is next submitted that the applicant has apprehension of his arrest and in case, the applicant is released on anticipatory bail, he will not misuse the said liberty. 4. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Counsel for the applicant further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of police report. 6. Having regard to the submissions made by counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations, antecedents of the applicant and the fact that earlier, the applicant lodged a complaint on 23.01.2025 against the victim and his family members before the Superintendent of Police, Jalaun at Orai, in the alleged incident, the victim has not received any injury.
At this stage, there is no substantive evidence against the applicant, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory
bail till the submission of police report. 7. In the event of arrest, the applicant- Akash Shakya be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under Section 193 (3) B.N.S.S., on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if he has passport, the same shall be deposited by him before the Police Commissioner concerned. 8. In default of any of the conditions, the Investigating Officer is at liberty to file appropriate application for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to the applicant. 9. The Investigating Officer is directed to conclude the investigation of the present case in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order independently without being prejudiced by any observation made by this Court while considering and deciding the present anticipatory bail application of the applicant. 10.
