Court No. - 16 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 14932 of 2023 Applicant :- Sunit Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Deptt. Sectt. Lko Counsel for Applicant :- Rakesh Kumar Tripathi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Subhash Vidyarthi,J.

¶1Heard Sri Rakesh Kumar Tripathi, the learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Punit Kumar Yadav, the learned counsel for the State and perused the record.

¶2This application has been moved by the applicant with a prayer to enlarge him on bail in Case Crime No.0460 of 2023, under Sections 392, 411 I.P.C., Police Station Ram Kot, District-Sitapur.

¶3It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is not named in the FIR. There is allegation of snatching Rs. 1,37,000/- from the first informant. The applicant is said to have arrested by the police on 27.09.2023 and Rs.50,000/- is shown to recover from the present applicant, while he was picked up from his home. He is not involved in the incident. There is no criminal history to his credit. He has been falsely implicated. He is languishing in jail since

27.09.2023, hence, the prayer of bail is made. It has also been submitted on behalf of the applicant that the co-accused Samsher Singh has already been granted bail by this court by means of an order dated 06.12.2023, passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.14314 of 2023.

¶4Learned A.G.A., however, opposed the prayer and submitted that the applicant was arrested by the police on 27.09.2023 and a recovery of Rs.50,000/- was made from him. It was confessed by the applicant that these were the rupees, which were robbed by him and co-accused persons from the first informant.

¶5From the perusal of the record, robbery of Rs. 1,37,000/- by two unknown motorcycle riders was alleged in the FIR. When the police arrested three persons next day on 27.09.2023 it is alleged that recovery of Rs. 50,000/- was made from the present applicant. No mark of identification is shown on the rupees recovered from the applicant that these were the rupees, which were robbed from the first informant. Applicant has been implicated on the basis of the confession of the accused persons. Applicant is languishing in jail since 27.09.2023.

¶6Perusing the record, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, 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 to the applicant.

¶7Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.

¶8Let the applicant-Sunit be released on bail in the aforesaid case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of magistrate/court concerned, subject to following conditions:-

(i) the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence;

(ii) the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses;

(iii) the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court. . (Subhash Vidyarthi, J.) Order Date :- 18.12.2023 Ram. High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
