1. Heard Shri Abhishek, learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State-respondents and perused the record. 2. This bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. has been moved on behalf of accused-applicant,Pintu Kumar Shah, seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No.436 of 2023, under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code, Police Station Rasoolpur, District Firozabad. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He is not named in the F.I.R. and has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number. As per F.I.R. version, main accused is account holder of C.C. Enterprises Company Abhishek. He further submitted that after framing of charge, statement of the complainant has been recorded before the trial court. He has not stated the involvement of the applicant in this case. It has been further argued that the F.I.R. was registered under Section 420 I.P.C. and 66 D I.T. Act, moreover the chargesheet has been filed under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code after conclusion of investigation. Thus the chargesheet has been filed, no reasonable possibility to intimidate/pressurize the prosecution witness. He is languishing in jail since 14.08.2023. He 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. 4. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. 5. 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. 6. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 7.
