He further submits that First Information Report was lodged against two named i.e. Jitendra Yadav and Rahul Verma, and two unknown persons. Applicant was not named in the First Information Report. Name of the applicant has been surfaced in the statement of the informer with the allegation that the accused persons, including the applicant, of the Case Crime No. 61 of 2025 are present at the house of Jitendra Kumar Yadav and they are planning to fled away. On the said information the police party arrested the applicant and other accused persons from the house of the co-accused Jitendra Kumar Yadav. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that in the present case charge sheet has been filed on 14.04.2025 against the applicant and other co-accused persons and the Court has taken cognizance of the same on 13.06.2025. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the fact that the applicant was not named in the first information report and he has no criminal antecedents. Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
