Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:139549 Court No. - 70 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 28029 of 2025 Applicant :- Sunil Yadav Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Sanjiv Kumar Dwivedi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Dr. Gautam Chowdhary,J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is not named in the F.I.R., and his name surfaced in the confessional statement of co-accused accused Sandeep Pratap Singth. Learned counsel further submits that the incident is alleged to have taken place on 26.03.2025, whereas the F.I.R. has been lodged on 25.04.2025 and there is no plausible explanation of such an inordinate delay. Learned counsel further argued that no specific recovery from the possession of the applicant has been made rather the same has been shown to be recovered from joint possession of the applicant and the co-accused. He further submits that the alleged recovery has been made from a public place but there is no independent witness of the alleged recovery. Learned counsel further argued that no offence under the charged Sections is made out. It is thus contended that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. Learned counsel next argued that the applicant has no criminal history. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him. He next submits that applicant is languishing in jail since 26.04.2025. 3. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserve any indulgence. 4.
After perusing the record in the light of the submissions made at the bar and after taking an overall view of all the facts and circumstances of this case, the nature of evidence and also the absence of any convincing material to indicate the possibility of tampering with the evidence, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, this Court is of the view, that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 5. Let applicant Sunil Yadav involved in Case Crime No. 107 of 2025 under Sections 318(4), 338, 340(2), 317(2) of B.N.S., Police Station Gajner, District Kanpur Dehat, be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two local sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions:- i) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence. ii) The applicant shall not threaten or harass the prosecution witnesses. iii) The applicant shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court. iv) The applicant shall not commit an offence similar to the offence of which the applicant is accused, or suspected of the commission. v) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the
facts of the case so as to dissuade such person from disclosing
facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence.
6. In case of breach of any of the above condition, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the applicant in accordance with law.
