Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was not named in the first information report and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The name of the applicant surfaced after five months of the alleged incident. The applicant has no concern with the alleged incident. No recovery of any incriminating article was made from the applicant. At this stage, there is no corroborative evidence to link the applicant with the offence. It is next contended that the applicant is neither a member of any organized crime syndicate nor he acted on behalf of such syndicate.

Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Himanshu Giri, Vaibhav Goswami Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Shravan Kumar Yadav .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) 5. Having heard counsel for the parties and having perused the record, this Court prima facie finds that the applicant was not named in the first information report. The name of the applicant surfaced after five months of the alleged incident. At this stage, there is no corroborative evidence to link the applicant with the offence. Further identically placed co-accused Govind Kumar Gupta has been enlarged on bail by this Court. Moreover, the applicant has no criminal antecedents and presently remained confined for more than two months and 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 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. 6. Let the applicant, Shravan Kumar Yadav, involved in the aforesaid case be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of court concerned on the following conditions that: i. the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; ii. the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witness; iii. the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court. 7. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to move bail cancellation application before this Court.
