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 16.03.2025.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that similarly placed co-accused, namely, Imarti Devi and Radha, have been granted bail by this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 13148 of 2025 and 12943 of 2025, vide orders dated 07.05.2025 and 12.05.2025. 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. 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, Narendra 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.

In the event of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the court below will be at liberty to proceed to cancel his bail.
