First Bail application, being Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 26410 of 2022, was rejected on merits whereas, the second bail application, being Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 49173 of 2023, was rejected for want of prosecution, by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide orders dated 19.11.2022 and 20.09.2023. Present third bail application is filed on behalf of the applicant stating that while rejecting the first bail application, being Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 26410 of 2022, of the applicant the coordinate Bench of this Court had expedited the trial, but till date only one witness has been examined. There are 16 witnesses, and therefore, trial may take sufficiently long time. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the co- accused Anurag Singh Yadav and Ashok, have already been granted bail in their Second Bail Application, being Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 38687 of 2023 and 38522 of 2024, by a coordinate Bench of this Court, vide orders dated 09.08.2024 and 08.11.2024. 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. Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant, but could not dispute the fact that the co-accused have been granted and the applicant has no criminal antecedents. 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, Neeraj Jaiswar, 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.
