¶6

Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

¶7

Learned A.G.A. informs that he has procured complete instructions in the matter, including upto date case diary, and investigation of this case is still going on.

¶8

Supplementary affidavit, filed on behalf of the applicant, is taken on record.

¶9

This application has been moved by the applicant- Lavkush Yadav for grant of anticipatory bail in FIR/Case Crime No.045 of 2023, under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC lodged at Police Station Gadaganj, District Raebareli.

¶10

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that it is a case of false implication. Even if the case of the prosecution, as is evident from the FIR as well as from the statement of the prosecution witnesses, is believed as it is, it will emerge that the role which has been assigned to the applicant is of visiting the house of the informant with the other co-accused persons who had taken Rs. 1 Lakh from the informant and, beyond that, there is no allegation against the applicant. As per the case of the prosecution, fraud of providing a government job in lieu of some money has been committed by co-accused persons and the money has also been taken by them and only role which has been assigned to the applicant is that he had accompanied few co-accused persons at relevant day when Rs. 1 Lakh was received by them. The applicant is ready to cooperate in the investigation and criminal history of one case has been explained in the supplementary affidavit filed today and there is no apprehension that the applicant after release on anticipatory bail, may flee from the process of law or may otherwise misuse the liberty.

¶11

Learned A.G.A., on the other hand, submits that the applicant has committed a heinous offence and, therefore, he is not entitled for any protection.

¶12

Considering the fact that the allegations with regard to providing government job in lieu of some money has not been alleged against the applicant and he has been assigned the role only to the extent that he had accompanied some co-accused persons when they (co-accused persons) had gone to collect Rs.1 Lakh from the informant and criminal history of one case has been explained adequately, the facility of anticipatory bail may be extended in favour of the applicant and his liberty may be protected.

¶13

Thus, this anticipatory bail application, moved on behalf of the applicant, is allowed with a direction that in the event of arrest of the applicant- Lavkush Yadav , involved in the above noted case, he shall be released forthwith on anticipatory bail on his furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the Police Station concerned/Investigating Officer/Trial Court with the following conditions:-
