Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:131582 Court No. - 65 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 19137 of 2025 Applicant :- Aman Verma Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Rakesh Pati Tiwari Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Rama Shanker Mishra Hon'ble Krishan Pahal,J. 1. List has been revised. 2. Rejoinder affidavit filed today is taken on record. 3. Heard Sri Rakesh Pati Tiwari, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Rama Shanker Mishra, learned counsel for the informant as well as Sri Sunil Kumar, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 4. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 276 of 2024, under Sections 80(2), 85 B.N.S. and 3/4 D.P. Act, Police Station- Bilsanda, District- Pilibhit, during the pendency of trial. 5. As per prosecution story, the marriage of the applicant was solemnized with the deceased person as per Hindu Rites on 17.02.2024, and subsequent to it, the applicant and other family members are stated to have subjected the victim to cruelty for demand of dowry, thereby leading her to death on 12.08.2024 at about 11:00 PM. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has nothing to do with the said offence. The FIR is delayed by about five hours and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. There are general and omnibus allegations against all the accused persons and no particular role has been assigned to the present applicant. 7. It is further argued by learned counsel for the applicant that there is no criminal antecedent of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 14.08.2024 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 8. Learned counsel for the informant as well as learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that deceased expired within the precincts of the house of the applicant and the FIR is prompt, as such, applicant is not entitled for bail. 9. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the FIR is prompt and the fact that the deceased expired within the precincts of the house of the applicant, I do not find it a fit case for grant of bail to the applicant. 10. The bail application is found devoid of merits and is, accordingly, rejected. 11. However, it is directed that the aforesaid case pending before the trial court be decided expeditiously in view of the principle as has been laid down in the recent judgments of the Supreme Court in the cases of Vinod Kumar vs. State of Punjab; 2015 (3) SCC 220 and Hussain and Another vs. Union of India; (2017) 5 SCC 702, if there is no legal impediment. 12. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial.
