Allahabad High Court (Dr. Gautam Chowdhary, J.; Order dated 26.5.2025; Neutral Citation 2025:AHC:89681) allowed an anticipatory bail application under S. 438 Cr.P.C. (Crl. Misc. Anticipatory Bail Application No. 10008 of 2024) by Shiv Sharan Mishra, named in Case Crime No. 65 of 2013, district Basti, under S. 379 IPC, Ss. 4/21 Minerals Act and Ss. 3/7 Lok Sampatti (Public Property) Act, 2023. The prosecution alleged that the applicant had received Rs. 1,63,80,000/- from the district mining office, Basti on 20.03.2013 and, by disregarding the mining department's advice, committed cheating, following which a complaint was lodged and the applicant was sent to jail. Weighing both sides' submissions — the nature and gravity of the accusation, the applicant's role and the material on record — and invoking the parameters laid down in Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre vs. State of Maharashtra, (2011) 1 SCC 694, the court directed that in the event of arrest the applicant be released on final anticipatory bail on furnishing an interest-free bond of Rs. 50,000/- with deposit of that amount, subject to conditions including appearance on dates fixed, cooperation in the trial, and automatic cancellation of the bail upon failure to appear or cooperate.
