                CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR VERMA
                                      ORAL ORDER

2 06-02-2026               Heard Mr. Rajiv Ranjan Kumar Pandey, learned counsel

               for the petitioner and Mr. Madan Kumar, learned Additional Public

               Prosecutor for the State.

                          2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection

               with Kankarbagh P.S. Case No. 184 of 2024, F.I.R. dated

               17.03.2024 for the offences punishable under Sections 307, 120(b),

               34 of Indian Penal Code and Section 25(1-b)a, 26(i)(ii), 35 & 27 of

               Arms Act.

                          3. As per the First Information Report, the informant

               alleged that during patrol, he was informed that some miscreants

               fired shots in air near Madhur Milan Hotel and when he along with

               other police personal reached there, he got information from the

               local people that four people in white scorpio had come with

               intention of committing a crime but after failing to do so, fired four

               rounds in air and left.

                  4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

      petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the

      present case. Initially the petitioner was not named in the FIR and

      his name transpired on the basis of confessional statement of co-

      accused person, namely, Ajay Kumar Pandey and except the

      aforesaid, no other cogent material has come during investigation

      which suggest the involvement of the petitioner in the present

      occurrence.

                  5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has

      vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and

      submits that the petitioner carries one criminal antecedent other

      than the present one but fairly submits on the basis of paragraph-3

      of the bail application that the petitioner is on bail in the said

      matter.

                   6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances,

      petitioner is not named in the FIR and his name transpired on the

      basis of confessional statement of co-accused person, let the

      petitioner, above named, in the event of arrest or surrender before

      the court below within a period of thirty days from the date of

      receipt of the order, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of

      Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount

      each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,

                  absence on two consecutive dates without sufficient reason, his

                  bail bond shall be cancelled by the Court below.

                               ii. If the petitioner tampers with the evidence or the

                  witnesses, in that case, the prosecution will be at liberty to move

                  for cancellation of bail.

                               iii. And further condition that the court below shall verify

                  the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case at any stage it

                  is found that the petitioner has concealed his criminal antecedent,

                  the court below shall take step for cancellation of bail bond of the

                  petitioner. However, the acceptance of bail bond in terms of the
