1. The instant bail application under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. has been filed on behalf of applicant for bail in Case Crime No.10 of 2025, under Sections 99, 142, 87, 61(2) of B.N.S., Police Station - Maniyar, District - Ballia.
2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant has submitted that applicant is innocent person and has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. It is further submitted that applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case due to ulterior motive. It is further submitted that the prosecutrix/victim has not supported the prosecution story in her statement under Section 183 B.N.S.S. It is categorically stated by the prosecutrix that applicant is not responsible for any thing as she went along with the applicant on her own sweet will. Applicant has also not committed any wrong thing with her. It is further submitted that applicant himself brought back the victim and left her in her parental house. It is also submitted that applicant is the man of clean antecedents and he has no previous criminal history. It is further submitted that after investigation, charge sheet has been filed on 06.04.2025. Applicant is languishing in jail since
09.03.2025.
3. Taking into consideration the aforesaid facts, it is prayed by
learned counsel appearing on behalf of applicant that applicant may be released on bail in the aforesaid crime. It is undertaken by
learned counsel for the applicant that applicant shall abide by all terms and conditions as imposed by this Court.
4. Per contra, learned AGA vehemently opposed the bail application of applicant, but he has not contradicted the facts as stated by learned counsel for the applicant during arguments. It is submitted by learned AGA for the State that he has not received complete instructions. It is also submitted that the charge sheet has already filed which is annexed at Annexure - 8 of the paper book.
5. Heard Sri Gaurav Srivastava, Advocate (A/G 1170/2022) holding brief of Sri S.K. Chaubey, learned counsel appearing on behalf of applicant, Sri Vijay Kumar Rathi, learned State Law Officer appearing on behalf of the State, perused the contents made in bail application and material available on record.
6. I have gone through the contents made in the bail application as well as the documents appended with the bail application and perused the affidavit. After perusal of statement under Sections 180 and 183 B.N.S.S. of the victim, no credible evidence on record to connect the applicant with the instant case at this stage. It is admitted fact that after completion of investigation, charge sheet has been filed. Applicant is the man of clean antecedents and there are no previous criminal history against him. Applicant is languishing in jail since 09.03.2025 and there is no material brought by learned AGA to establish that if applicant would be enlarged on bail he will influence the trial or the witnesses. Applicant is the permanent resident of address given in memo of bail application and there is no flight risk. There are dim chance
for conclusion of trial in near future.
7. Taking into consideration all the entirety of the matter as discussed above, without expressing any finding or opinion on merits of the case, the applicant is releasing on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
8. Let the applicant - Kishan Bhati, who is involved in aforementioned case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- (Fifty Thousand) and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions. Further, before issuing the release
order, the sureties be verified. (i) The applicant shall not tamper with evidence. (ii) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the Trial Court on dates fixed for (1) opening of the case, (2) framing of charge and (3) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C./351 B.N.S.S. If in the opinion of the Trial Court absence of the applicant is deliberate or without sufficient cause, then it shall be open for the Trial Court to treat such default as abuse of liberty of bail and proceed against him in accordance with law.
9. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. . (Chandra Dhari Singh, J.)
