Holding
Bail was denied to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Yugeshwar Yadav, sought bail in a criminal case (Rampur PS Case No. 55 of 2024) involving offences under Sections 386, 387, 353, 414, 120B of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 13, 18, 19, 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner was implicated through a self‑incriminating statement of co‑accused Vimal Yadav and that he is alleged to be a Naxal with eight other pending cases. The petitioner argued that the charge had been framed and that the trial had commenced, seeking relief on bail. The Court, recalling its earlier order dated 18‑09‑2024 which dismissed the bail application, held that the seriousness of the offences and the petitioner’s alleged criminal antecedents warranted denial of bail. Consequently, the Court refused to review its earlier order and dismissed the second bail application, directing the trial court to expedite the trial.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner in a case involving serious IPC and UAPA offences.
- Whether the petitioner’s alleged criminal antecedents and the commencement of trial justify denial of bail.
