1. Sri Vivek Kumar Singh, learned Advocate has filed Vakalatnama on behalf of the informant. The same is taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Vivek Kumar Singh, counsel for the informant and Sri Neeraj Kumar Sharma, learned AGA for the State- respondent. 3. The present bail application under Section 483 BNSS has been filed with a prayer to enlarge the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 153 of 2025, under Section 108 BNS, 2023, Police Station- Girwan, District- Banda during the pendency of trial. 4. Counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant is the mother-in-law of the deceased and has been falsely implicated in the present case. As per the allegations, the necessary ingredients to constitute the offence under Section 108 B.N.S. are not made out. The applicant, in no manner, abetted the commission of suicide by the deceased. In support of his submission, counsel for the applicant has placed reliance on the judgements of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the cases of Mahendra Awase vs. The State of Madhya Pradesh (Criminal Appeal No. 221 of 2025) decided on 17.01.2025 and Laxmi Das vs. The State of West Bengal and Ors. (Criminal Appeal No. 706 of 2017) decided on 21.01.2025. The applicant is a lady who is in jail since 08.07.2025 having no criminal history and in case she is enlarged on bail, she will not misuse the said liberty. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Jitendra Prasad Mishra, Prakhar Kumar Kushwaha Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Mehrunisha .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s)
5. Learned AGA as well as the counsel for the informant has opposed the prayer for bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 6. Having heard counsel for the parties and having perused the record, this Court prima facie finds that the necessary ingredients to constitute the offence under Section 108 B.N.S. are not made out.
The applicant has remained confined for almost three months and after submission of the charge-sheet there is no hope of early conclusion of trial, more so when no reasonable apprehension has been brought to the fore by the State that the applicant, if enlarged on bail, would either tamper with the evidence or delay the trial or intimidate the witness, without commenting on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. 7. Let the applicant Mehrunisha, involved in the aforesaid case be released on bail on her furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the conditions that she: (i) shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court; (ii) shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; and, (iii) shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses. 8. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to move bail cancellation application before this Court.
