The present bail application under Section 483 BNSS has been filed on behalf of applicant Ravindra Kumar, with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 79 of 2025, under Sections 3 (5), 191 (2), 191 (3), 190, 109, 115 (2), 121 (1), 352, 351 (2) BNS and Section 7 CLA Act, Police Station Civil Lines, District Meerut, during pendency of the trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this case crime number and is languishing in jail since 10.04.2025. The injury sustained by the injured are on the non vital part of the body and the same does not corroborate with the medical evidence nor the CCTV footage collected by the Investigating Officer of the case during investigation. The recovery of pistol shown from the possession of the applicant, is licensed pistol and is issued in the name of applicant. The CCTV footage also confirms that the firing was done by someone else who is yet to be identified. The applicant has criminal history of 10 cases, which have sufficiently been explained. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA 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. Let the accused-applicant, Ravindra Kumar, 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: i.
