This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused- applicant Aman Chandel, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No. 285 of 2024, under Sections 109 (1), 351 (3), 3 (5) of B.N.S. and Sections 3/25/27 of Arms Act, Police Station- Hastinapur, District-Meerut.
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 12.12.2024.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that a First Information report has been lodged, with the allegation that the named accused persons opened fire upon the first informant which hits the wall.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the role of firing has been assigned to one co-accused Ankit. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant. It is a no injury case. Criminal history of five cases has been properly explained in the affidavit filed in support of the bail application as well as supplementary affidavit, and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Co-accused Hitesh @ Ritesh as well as rohit @ Bheem, have been granted bail by a coordinate Bench as well as by this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 4992 of 2025, 14178 of 2025, vide order dated 25.04.2025 and 20.05.2025. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail but
could not dispute the aforesaid facts. 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.
