Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record.

¶7

It is alleged in the prosecution case that upon the assurance given by the applicant and the co-accused persons, the informant has invested Rs.2,50,000/- in the company. The complainant was allured that he will be given twice the amount deposited within 36 months, however, when he contacted in the office of the company, he came to know that Rant Chandra Dwivedi and all the directors of the company have gone to jail. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that managing director of the company Ratan Chandra Dwivedi, Jainudeen Ansari, Director of the company and Jai Prakash Prajapati, Senior Team Leader of the company, have been enlarged on bail by the learned trial court, copy of which are on record as Annexure No. 2 collectively to the bail application.

tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. He has drawn attention of the court towards the order passed on 18.09.2024 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.9901 of 2024.

¶12

Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.

¶13

On due consideration to the fact that the offences are triable by magistrate; similarly situated co-accused persons have been enlarged on bail by the trial court; the applicant has explained his criminal history, coupled with the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 12.04.2021 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.

¶14

Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.

¶15

Let the applicant involved in Case Crime/FIR No.65/2022, under Sections 409/420 IPC, Police Station Gomti Nagar, District Lucknow, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice:(i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial.
