Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:103988 Court No. - 67 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 22160 of 2025 Applicant :- Vikrant Alias Vikky Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Vijay Pratap Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Sunil Kumar Tiwari Hon'ble Sanjay Kumar Singh,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned Additional Government Advocate representing the State and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant. By means of this application, applicant-Vikrant alias Vikky, who is involved in Case Crime No. 173 of 2025, under Sections 109, 3(5) B.N.S. and Sections 3/5/25/27 Arms Act, Police Station Sardhana, District Meerut, seeks enlargement on bail during the pendency of trial. As per prosecution case, in brief, the complainant who is uncle of the victim/injured got a first information report lodged on 29.03.2025 for the alleged offence under Section 109 B.N.S., 2023 against the applicant and co-accused Rahul making allegations inter alia that on 28.03.2025 at about 8:30 P.M. when his nephew Shoaib was working in the factory of Akshay Jain, applicant and co-accused Rahul came there and took him to Chowk Bazar, where they with the intention to kill, shot a fire at Shoaib, which hit his neck. After sustaining injury victim fell down and his condition was serious. He was taken to hospital. It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant that applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. The alleged eye-witness Munna and Zeeshan are interested witnesses. There is delay of one day in lodging the first information report. False recovery of a country made pistol from the pointing out of the applicant was shown. No motive has been assigned to the applicant, therefore, the applicant who is languishing in jail since 02.04.2025, may be enlarged on bail. On the other hand, learned Additional Government Advocate as well as learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that in the F.I.R. as well as statement of the injured, specific role of causing firearm injury has been assigned to the present applicant, which is corroborated from the medical examination report of the injured. It is also pointed out that though the statement of the injured Shoaib has been recorded during investigation, but the same has not been filed along with the bail application. Copy of said statement has been produced by the counsel for the complainant, which is reproduced herein below:- "नकल बययान मजरुब ससोएब..... It is also pointed out that though the statement of the injured Shoaib has been recorded during investigation, but the same has not been filed along with the bail application.

It it also pointed out that apart from this case, applicant has criminal history of following three case: i. Case Crime No. 912 of 2021, under Sections 392, 411 I.P.C., Police Station Kankerkheda, District Meerut. ii. Case Crime No. 55 of 2021, under Sections 414, 411 I.P.C., Police Station Daurala, District Meerut. iii. Case Crime No. 441 of 2021, under Sections 392, 411 I.P.C., Police Station Daurala, District Meerut. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and examined the matter in its entirety, I find that there is direct evident of causing firearm injury against the present applicant. The statement of injured cannot be disbelieved at this stage, which is corroborated from the medical examination report of the injured. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case as well as keeping in view the submissions advanced on behalf of parties, gravity of offence, role assigned to applicant, criminal history of the applicant, nature of injury and severity of punishment, I do not find any good ground to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. It is made clear that the observation contained in the instant order is confined to the issue of bail and shall not affect the merit of the trial.
