Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J.

¶6

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

¶7

The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant with a prayer to release the applicant on bail during the trial in Case Crime No.0377 of 2024, under Section 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120B I.P.C., P.S. Kotwali Nagar, District Ayodhya.

¶8

It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. He submits that identically situated Alok Kumar Singh @ Rahul Singh has already been granted bail by this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.160 of 2025, vide order dated 9.1.2025 and the applicant is seeking parity of the same. He further submits that there is one case criminal history of the applicant, which has been explained in para 10 of the bail application and the applicant is languishing in jail since 7.11.2024 and in case, the applicant is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty and would co-operate in the trial proceedings.

¶9

Per contra, learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the prayer of bail and submitted that the applicant is involved in committing the aforesaid offence, as such, he is not entitled to be released on bail. But he could not dispute the fact that identically situated co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court.

¶10

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and after perusal of record, it transpires that identically situated Alok Kumar Singh @ Rahul Singh has already been granted bail by this Court; there is one case criminal history of the applicant, which has been explained in para 10 of the bail application; the applicant is languishing in jail since 7.11.2024 and he has undertaken that he will not misuse the liberty of bail if granted and would co-operate in the trial proceedings.

¶11

Considering the submissions of learned counsel of both sides,

¶12

nature of accusation and severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment and considering larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a case of bail.

¶13

¶14
