Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:101266 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 21643 of 2025 Applicant :- Manish Jatav Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Om Prakash Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal,J. 1. Heard Sri Om Prakash, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Rajeev Kumar Singh, learned A.G.A. and perused the record. 2. The instant application has been filed to enlarge the applicant on bail in case crime No. 149 of 2024, under Sections 489A, 489B, 489C, 489D I.P.C, P.S. Sipri Bazar, District Jhansi. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. False recovery of Rs.50,000/- counterfeit currency has been shown from the applicant. There is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. It is next contended that identically placed co-accused Pankaj Kumar Malhotra and Ashiq alias Ashish Jatav have been granted bail by this Court vide orders dated 21.11.2024 and 10.03.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 33438 of 2024, and 4698 of 2025. The applicant claims parity of the order aforesaid. He argued that charge sheet has been filed in the instant matter and there is no possibility of his fleeing away from investigation proceedings and tampering with the evidence. The applicant is in jail since 05.05.2024 having no criminal history and if he is released on bail, he will not misuse the said liberty. 4. On the other hand, learned A.G.A. for the State opposed the prayer for bail, but she could not dispute the aforesaid fact. 5. Thus, considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the nature of offence, evidence, complicity of accused and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. 6. Let the applicant- Manish Jatav, involved in the aforementioned crime be released on bail, on her furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned, with the following conditions:- i. The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. ii. The applicant shall cooperate in the trial/investigation sincerely without seeking any adjournment. iii. The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity or commission of any crime after being released on bail. iv. The applicant shall attend in accordance with the conditions of the bond executed by her. v. The applicant shall not leave the country without the permission of court concerned. 7. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. 8. Identity, status and residence proof of the applicant and sureties be verified by the court concerned before the bonds are accepted. Order Date :- 1.7.2025 Ruhi H.
