Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:93675 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 15835 of 2025 Applicant :- Shahid Alias Sajid Qureshi And Another Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Sushil Kumar Pandey Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Shri Sushil Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Arimardan Yadav, 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- applicants, Shahid Alias Sajid Qureshi and Rodu @ Sher Mohammad, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 469 of 2023, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 323, 504, 506, 333, 336, 353 of I.P.C. and Section 7 of Criminal Law Amendment Act, Police Station- Khandauli, District- Agra. Learned counsel for the applicants argued that the accused- applicants are innocent. They have been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and are languishing in jail since 03.04.2025. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that co- accused, namely, Kasim has already been enlarged on bail by Co- ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 10.05.2024 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 3429 of 2024. They have no criminal antecedents and there is no likelihood of their 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-applicants, Shahid Alias Sajid Qureshi and Rodu @ Sher Mohammad, involved in above mentioned case crime number be released on bail, on their 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 applicants will not tamper with the evidence. 2. The applicants will not indulge in any criminal activity. 3. The applicants will not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses and co-operate in the trial. 4. The applicants will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless their 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 their bail.
