¶1Heard Sri Vivek Chandra, the learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Amitabh Chaturvedi, the learned AGA for the State and perused the records.

¶2The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.557 of 2022, under Sections 419, 420, 447, 427, 467, 468, 471, 109 IPC, Police Station Kotwali Nagar District Barabanki.

¶3The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of an F.I.R. lodged on 10.06.2022 against 2 persons, not including the applicant, stating that the applicant had purchased a plot of land from M/s Singla Developers in the year, 2017. It is alleged that when the informant went to the land in question the boundary wall constructed by him had been removed. It is further stated in the FIR that subsequently informant came to know that the land had been sold to some other person.

¶4In the affidavit filed in support of the application, it has been stated that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case.

¶5The applicant's criminal history of 20 other cases has been disclosed in para 15 of the bail application, in 11 of which, the applicant has been granted bail.

¶6The learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but he could not dispute the aforesaid aspects of the matter.

¶7Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the land in question was purchased from Singla Developers of which Sanjay Singh Singla is the proprietor, in the year, 2017 and it is stated that the informant had got possession of the land and constructed boundary wall thereon; that the FIR alleges that some person had removed boundary wall constructed by the informant but this allegation has not been levelled against the applicant and that the applicant is languishing in jail since 03.06.2022 and without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in the present case.

¶8Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed.
