Learned counsel for the applicant submits, it is a case of circumstantial evidence and nobody was named in the FIR but after one month informant raised suspicion against applicant and co-accused and thereafter they have been made accused in the present matter. 4. He next submits, after one week from the statement of informant as per prosecution when applicant was arrested then from his possession some small jewelries of the deceased were recovered but the alleged recovery is false and planted one.

Rang Lal Bind .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) present matter he is in jail since 20.05.2026. 7. Per contra, learned AGA however opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the arguments on facts advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant. 8. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 9. It is a case of circumstantial evidence and nobody was named in the FIR. It reflects, during investigation after one month when informant raised suspicion against applicant then applicant has been made accused alongwith one another. 10. Further, however as per prosecution apart from the suspicion when applicant was arrested then from his possession some small jewelries of the deceased were recovered but this recovery was made after 38 days from the alleged incident and after more than a week from the statement of the informant in which she disclosed the name of applicant. 11. Further, it reflects, except the above recovery there is no other cogent and admissible evidence which can connect the applicant with the instant crime. This Court finds merit in the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the applicant that in absence of any other corroborative evidence merely on the basis of above recovery prima facie it cannot be said that applicant involved in commission of the alleged crime. 12. Further, applicant is not having any criminal history and in the present matter he is in jail since 20.05.2026. 13. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 14. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 15. Let the applicant - Rang Lal Bind be released on bail in the aforesaid case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following BAIL No. 34212 of 2026 2 conditions:- (i) The applicant shall appear before the trial court on the dates fixed, unless his personal presence is exempted.

In case of breach of any of the above condition, the prosecution will be at liberty to move an application before this Court for cancellation of the bail of the applicant. 17.
