Heard Mr. Pranav Singh, learned counsel for applicant and Mr. Pratiroop Pandey, learned A.G.A. for State.

Mr. Pranav Singh, Advocate, has contended that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present matter. Nothing was recovered from his possession. He is a permanent resident of District Saharanpur, therefore, there is no chance of his absconding. Charge-sheet has already been filed, therefore, there is no chance of tampering with the evidence. He is not a previous convict, and, he is in judicial custody since 27.09.2024.

Mr. Pratiroop Pandey, Advocate has opposed the bail application orally.

Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for both the parties and in the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion as to the merit of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves bail at this stage.

The Bail Application is allowed.

Let the applicant – Mohd. Nazim be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
