1. List has been revised. 2. Heard Sri Manish Yadav, learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Ashutosh Srivastava, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. Applicants seek bail in Case Crime No. 16 of 2025, under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 115(2), 109(1), 352, 351(3), 125, 118(1) B.N.S., Police Station- Mantola, District- Agra, during the pendency of trial. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case with a view to cause unnecessary harassment and to victimize him. FIR is delayed by about one day and there is no explanation to the said delay caused. Applicant and other co- accused persons are stated to have assaulted and cause injuries to the informant and his brother Akash on 14.03.2025 at about 12:30 PM. The allegations are per se false as the instant case is a result of brawl between parties during Holi celebrations. The injury sustained by the injured person is not on his vital part although the applicant is stated to have stabbed the victim with knife but the allegations are false. It is further stated that there is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since
12.05.2025. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the evidence on record, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
case, the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed. 7. Let the applicant- Monti Alias Mantu, who is involved in aforementioned case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions. Further, before issuing the release order, the sureties be verified. (i) The applicant shall not tamper with evidence during trial.
(ii) The applicant shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses. (iii) The applicant shall appear before the trial court on the date fixed. 8. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. 9. It is made clear that observations made in granting bail to the applicant shall not in any way affect the learned trial Judge in forming his independent opinion based on the testimony of the witnesses.
