The applicant has criminal antecedent of one case, in which, he has not received any notice, summon or warrant till date, and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. It is further submitted that on the similar footing the co- accused Kapil has been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 27.02.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 209 of 2025, therefore, applicant is also entitled to be released on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. 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.
