What the court decided

AI extract

Outcome

Bail granted to accused-applicant Veeru @ Veerpal: release on execution of a personal bond and two reliable sureties, subject to conditions of non-tampering with evidence, abstention from criminal activity, no pressurising/intimidating of prosecution witnesses with cooperation in the trial, and regular attendance before the trial court; breach permits the court below to cancel bail.

Issue for consideration

Whether the accused-applicant Veeru @ Veerpal, in jail since 22.01.2025 in Case Crime No.55 of 2025 (Police Station Bhojipura, District Bareilly), deserves to be enlarged on bail under Section 483 BNSS, 2023.

Court's answer

Considering all the facts and circumstances — the nature of accusations, severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with witnesses and the prima facie case, but without commenting on the merit of the case — a case for bail is made out.

Ratio / Principle

The accused-applicant shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to conditions: (1) no tampering with evidence; (2) no indulgence in criminal activity; (3) no pressurising/intimidating prosecution witnesses, with cooperation in the trial; and (4) regular appearance on each date fixed by the trial court unless personal appearance is exempted through counsel; breach of any condition entitles the court below to proceed to cancel bail.

Bail granted. High Court of Judicature at Allahabad (Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava, J.), by order dated November 17, 2025 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 36822 of 2025, moved under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, allowed bail to Veeru @ Veerpal, accused in Case Crime No.55 of 2025 (Sections 109, 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 142, 127(2), 3(5) B.N.S. and Section 3/25/27 Arm Act, Police Station-Bhojipura, District-Bareilly), who had been languishing in jail since 22.01.2025. Considering the nature of accusations, severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with witnesses and the prima facie case, but expressly without commenting on the merit of the case — and noting that the similarly circumstanced co-accused Rajat @ Umesh had already been enlarged on bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.23402 of 2025 (vide order dated 22.07.2025), which the learned A.G.A. also acknowledged — the Court held a case for bail made out. Release directed on execution of a personal bond and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount, subject to four conditions (no tampering with evidence; no criminal activity; no pressurising/intimidating prosecution witnesses and cooperation in the trial; regular appearance before the trial court), breach of which empowers the court below to cancel bail.

HON'BLE ASHUTOSH SRIVASTAVA, J.

Supplementary affidavit filed today is taken on record.

Heard learned counsel for the applicant and Shri Yagyavalka Pandey, learned A.G.A. for the State-respondents and perused the record.

This bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been moved on behalf of accused-applicant, Veeru @ Veerpal , seeking enlargement on bail in Case Crime No.55 of 2025, under Section 109, 318 (4), 338, 336 (3), 340 (2), 142, 127 (2), 3 (5) B.N.S. and Section 3/25/27 Arm Act, Police Station-Bhojipura, District-Bareilly.

Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused-applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 22.01.2025. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that similarly circumstanced co-accused Rajat @ Umesh, has already been enlarged on bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.23402 of 2025, vide order dated 22.07.2025. Criminal antecedent of one case has already been explained and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for.

Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant, but submits that similarly circumstanced aforesaid co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court.

Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out.

BAIL No. 36822 of 2025

2
