¶5

Counter affidavit filed by the learned A.G.A. is taken on record.

¶6

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Shri V.K. Shahi, learned Additional Advocate General assisted by Shri Anurag Verma, learned A.G.A. for the State and Shri Anil Kumar Tiwari, learned counsel appearing for the complainant.

¶7

This bail application has been filed by the applicant in F.I.R. No. 319 of 2022, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, Police Station Kotwali Akbarpur, District Ambedkar Nagar with the prayer to enlarge him on bail.

¶8

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant, who is a Peon in Nagar Palika Parishad, Ambedkar Nagar, has falsely been implicated in the present case merely on the basis of presumption that he is in association with the Ajay Kumar Tripathi, against whom evidence was found for submitting a report on an application, which was allegedly moved by Champa Devi for mutating the her name along with Neetu Singh and Ajay Kumar Singh. However, during the course of investigation, it was found that no such application was given by Champa Devi and the marriage certificate, which was relied by the co-accused, Ajay Kumar Tripathi, was also found forged. Submission of the learned counsel for the applicant is that there is no evidence against the applicant, but the charge sheet has already been filed against him only on the statement of the Executive Officer of Nagar Palika, who stated in his statement that the applicant was also a resident of Ambedkar Nagar and, therefore, he might be

¶9

associated with the kingpin of the crime, Pawan Kumar Pandey. It is lastly submitted that in near future, there is no possibility of conclusion of trial and the applicant, who has no criminal antecedent, is in jail since 09.11.2023. In such circumstances, applicant is entitled for bail. It is also submitted that the applicant will never misuse the liberty of bail and shall fully cooperate in the trial.

¶10

Shri V.K. Shahi, learned Additional Advocate General as well as learned counsel for the complainant oppose the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant and submit that sufficient evidences are found against the applicant. However, they do not dispute the fact that the involvement of the applicant is surfaced in the statement of Executive Officer of the Nagar Palika.

¶11

Considering the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A., learned counsel for the complainant and going through the contents of F.I.R., application, counter affidavit and other relevant documents, including the statement of Executive Officer placed by Shri Anurag Verma, learned A.G.A., it is evident from the said statement that the officer concerned stated that there is a possibility that applicant, who is working on the post of Class IV in the Nagar Palika, Akbarpur, might be associated with kingpin of the crime. In such circumstances, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail.

¶12
