Heard Sri Sushil Kumar Dubey, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Shashank Singh, learned counsel holding brief of learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. The present bail application has been filed by accused-applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No.28 of 2024, under Sections 5/25 Arms Act, P.S. Vaidpura, District Etawah. Learned counsel for applicant submits that applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. There is no independent witness to the alleged recovery shown by the police. Applicant is not involved in the manufacturing of illegal weapon. The confessional statement of Sukhveer depicts that he is the owner of the tubewell and hut ant not the applicant. Applicant is not the resident of the place of incident. Police has falsely implicated the applicant. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 27.04.2024. Co-accused, Sudhir Kumar, has already been granted bail by co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 05.11.2024 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 21418 of 2024. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record as also the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 27.04.2024, offences are triable by magistrate, applicant has explained the criminal history and there appears to be no independent witness of the recovery, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant Sukhveer @ Neta be released on bail in aforesaid case crime number subject to his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court concerned with the following conditions: (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial.

(iv) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law.
