1. Supplementary affidavit filed by the applicant is taken on record. 2. Heard Sri Rakesh Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Ghanshyam Mishra, learned brief holder for the State. 3. The instant bail application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.54 of 2026, under Section 103(1) BNS, Police Station Purakalan, District Lalitpur, during pendency of the trial. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits, applicant has been made accused in the present matter only because she is wife of co-accused Kehar Singh and mother of co-accused Rikendra Kushwaha. He next submits, even from the statement of eye-witness Jagdish Kushwaha it reflects, co-accused Rikendra was the prime accused caused caused axe injury to the deceased. 5. He further submits, applicant is the mother of co- accused Rikendra therefore she has also been made accused in the present matter. 6. He further argued, applicant is lady and she is not having any criminal history and in the present matter she is in jail since 26.06.2026. 7. Per contra, learned AGA however opposed the prayer for bail but could Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Ashish Kumar Dubey, Rakesh Kumar Pandey Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Smt. Angoori .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s)
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. However, as per prosecution applicant alongiwth other accused made assault upon the deceased due to which he sustained injuries and died but considering the statement of eye-witness Jagdish it reflects, co- accused Rikendra was the prime accused who caused axe injury to the deceased. 10. Further, considering the fact that applicant is mother of co- accused Rikendra the argument advanced by learned counsel for the applicant with regard to her false implication cannot be ruled out at this stage. 11. Further, applicant is lady and she is not having any criminal history and in the present matter she is in jail since 26.06.2026. 12. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 13.
Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 14. Let the applicant - Smt. Angoori 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 conditions:- (i) The applicant shall appear before the trial court on the dates fixed, unless her personal presence is exempted.
