Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J.

Heard learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Brijendra Kumar, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State of U.P. and perused the record.

¶7

The present bail application has been filed by the applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No. 251/2023, under Sections 147, 148, 323, 504, 506, 186, 352, 333, 336, 353 IPC and Section 7 of Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, Police Station- G.R.P., Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Nagar, District Chandauli.

¶8

Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present crime. It is submitted that general role has been assigned to the applicant; nothing has been recovered from the possession of the applicant. It is further submitted that the applicant has no previous criminal history. It is stated that after taking note of entire facts and circumstances of the case, some of the co-accused, namely, Rajesh Gupta, Ritik Kumar Gupta , Shobhit Gupta, Sachin @ Banti and Mohd. Shhid had already been enlarged on bail by this Court whose bail orders have been annexed as Annexure No. 2 to the affidavit filed in support of the bail application. Accordingly, the applicant is also entitled for bail. It is also submitted that there is no apprehension that after being released on bail, applicant may flee from the course of law or may, otherwise, misuse the liberty of bail and the applicant is in jail since 11.01.2025 and the possibility of conclusion of trial in near future is very bleak.

¶9

Learned A.G.A. has, however, opposed the prayer for grant of bail, but he has not disputed the above contention made by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant that co-accused had already been released on bail.

¶10

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, perusing the record and also considering the nature of allegations, arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I find it to be a fit case for granting bail.

¶11

¶12

¶13
