The Court also takes note of reasons assigned while rejecting the first bail application on 10.05.2024 which is reproduced hereinafter :- "7. In aforesaid circumstances and since the orders granting bail to co-accused have not assigned reasons as required by Supreme Court in Manoj Kumar Khokhar (supra) and Brijmani Devi (supra), prayer for parity is rejected. It would be appropriate to mention few paragraphs from a judgment passed by this Court in Sangeeta Jaiswal vs. State of U.P., 2021:AHC:66054 as under: "10. गत कु छ महीनो में उत्तर प्रदेश में जहरीली शराब पीने के कारण लोगों के मरने व बीमार होने की कई घटना घिटत हुई है। नवम्बर 2020 में ही लखनऊ व िफरोजाबाद में, इसके पूवर् अप्रैल मास में कानपुर में, िसतम्बर मास में बागपत व मेरठ में, इस वषर्, मई मास में अलीगढ़़़़ में, माचर् मास में प्रतापगढ़़़़ में तथा Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Ajit Kumar Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Mukesh Dancer .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) आजमगढ़़़़, महोबा में भी ऐसी ही घटनाये घिटत हुई हैं। एक आकड़े के अनुसार इस वषर् उत्तर प्रदेश के 11 िजलो में 96 से भी ज्यादा लोगों ने जहरीली शराब के कारण अपनी जान गवाई है। 11. जहरीली शराब की त्रासिदयों में जान गवाने वाले अिधकतर लोग समाज के हािशए के वगोर्ं से होते हैं। ऐसे पिरवारो में मृत्यु होने से समस्त पिरवार को भूखे मरने की नौबत आ जाती है। ऐसी एक घटना समाज में कई िवधवाओं और अनाथों को जन्म दे सकती है। ऐसी घटना में िलप्त आरोिपयों के प्रित कठोर दृिष्टकोण अपनाने की आवश्यकता होनी चािहये। जहरीली शराब के कारण बीमार लोगो में भी ऐसी बीमारी होने की संभावना होती है, जो गंभीर हो, जैसे आँखों की रोशनी का जाना। ऐसे अपराधों में अपराधी के वल अपने मौिद्रक लाभ के िलए इंसानो की िजदगी से खेल जाते हैं। यह अपराध, गंभीर अपराध की श्रेणी में आते हैं, जो न के वल िपिड़त के िवरूद्ध है, बिल्क बड़े पैमाने पर समाज के िवरूद्ध भी है।" 8. In view of above and taking note of evidence against applicant and that due to spurious liquor three persons have died and that there is direct involvement of applicant in occurrence as well as present status of trial is not on record and also that applicant is in jail since 24.06.2021, while rejecting prayer for bail, this application is disposed of with observation that in case trial is not substantially proceeded much within one year from today, applicant will have liberty to approach this Court or Trial Court concerned, as advised, afresh alongwith status of trial. Meanwhile, Trial Court shall take all endeavour to conclude trial." 6. Considering the nature of allegation that due to spurious liquor, number of persons have died, therefore, no ground is made out to grant bail to the applicant, hence present bail application is rejected. 7 However, in case trial is not concluded within reasonable period, applicant will have liberty to approach this Court or Trial Court, as advised along with fresh status report.
