BA1 No.1063 of 2025 Hon’ble Rakesh Thapliyal, J.
1. Mr. Avidit Noliyal, learned counsel for the applicant.
2. Mr. Siddhartha Bisht, learned AGA along with Mr. Himanshu Sain, learned Brief Holder for the State.
3. Present applicant–Sukhvinder Singh alias Sethi S/o Avtar Singh is seeking regular bail in relation to first information report dated 16.05.2025, bearing FIR No. 0211 of 2025, Police Station Kashipur, District Udham Singh Nagar, wherein the present applicant has been implicated for the offences punishable under Sections 274, 275, 317(4), 317(5) read with Section 3/5 of the BNS, 2023 and Sections 60 and 63 of the UP Excise Act, 1910.
4. It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the present applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated because earlier the applicant was implicated in the Case Crime No.145 of 2023, which also pertains to the Excise Act, in which, the applicant was already bailed out on
12.07.2023.
5.
Learned counsel for the applicant also submits that the other three co-accused, namely, Sunil Kumar S/o Gainda Singh, Guddu S/o Majeed and Ram Singh S/o Narpat Singh were enlarged on bail by the First Additional Sessions Judge/Kashipur and claims parity.
6. On the other side, Mr. Siddhartha Bisht, learned AGA submits that the charge- sheet has not been filed as yet, however, he has not disputed this fact that the other three co-accused named as above have already been enlarged on bail.

7. After hearing the
arguments as advanced by learned counsel for the parties and further taking into consideration that the three co-accused persons have already been enlarged on bail and as such, this Court is of the view that the present applicant also deserves to get the benefit of parity but taking into consideration that the investigation is still going on, this Court is of the view that some stringent conditions have to be imposed upon the applicant.
8. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, the present bail application is allowed.
9. Let the applicant,namely, “Sukhvinder Singh alias Sethi,” be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
10. It is made clear that after being released on bail, the applicant shall report to the concerned nearest police station on the first day of every month and the concerned SHO shall record his presence and if the applicant is found to be indulged in any criminal activity in future, then the prosecution is free to apprise to the trial Court about this, so the trial Court may proceed against the applicant for cancelling the bail.
