HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 10124 of 2026 Court No. - 71 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J. 1. Heard the Learned counsel for the applicants and the Learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. 2. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicants in Case Crime No. 16 of 2025, under Sections 320, 332(c), 335, 336(3), 338, 340(2), 61(2) of B.N.S., Police Station- Naubasta, District Kanpur Nagar, with a prayer to enlarge them on anticipatory bail as the applicants apprehend their arrest in the abovementioned case. 3. The Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that the applicant No. 1 is not named in the FIR. He is the tenant in the property in dispute. The co-accused Saksham Sonkar and applicant No. 2 were both marginal witnesses in the sale deed executed by one Brij Bihari Lal in favour of the co-accused Pratyush Kumar. Pratyush Kumar has filed a civil suit being O.S. No. 1692 of 2024 seeking injunction against the informant in which an interim order in the form of status quo over the property in question is operating till date. The applicants had filed a Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No. 12877 of 2025 in which this Court by the order dated 18.6.2025, had stayed the arrest of the applicants during investigation till cognizance on the police report. Similarly situated co-accused Saksham Sonkar and Pratyush Kumar have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court in NABAIL No. 6438 of 2026 and 7737 of 2026 respectively. The case of the applicants stands on a similar footing. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Anil Kumar, G.A., Mukesh Joshi Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : Uday Pratap Singh @ Raja Singh And Another .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) 4. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail, but does not dispute the fact that similarly situated co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court. 5. I have considered the submissions made by the Learned counsels for the parties. 6. The co-accused Pratyush Kumar and Saksham Sonkar have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court. An interim injunction in the form of status quo over the property is operating in the civil suit filed by the co- accused Pratyush Kumar. The applicant No. 1 was not named in the FIR and the applicant No. 2 is a marginal witness of the disputed sale deed. 7. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that similarly situated co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail, I deem it appropriate to enlarge applicants on anticipatory bail. 8. In view of the above, the anticipatory bail application of the applicants is allowed. 9. In the event of the arrest of the applicants- Uday Pratap Singh @ Raja Singh and Anand Kumar, they shall be released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime on anticipatory bail on furnishing of their personal bond and surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court concerned with the following conditions:- i. the applicants shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; ii. that the applicants 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 them from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; iii. that the applicants shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court; iv. that the applicants shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution NABAIL No. 10124 of 2026 2 witness; 10. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the Court concerned shall be at liberty to cancel the bail. 11. It is made clear that observations made hereinabove are exclusively for deciding the instant anticipatory bail application and are not to be considered to be an opinion on the merits of the case.
