Allahabad High Court

OMVEER AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P.

Decided

Holding

Bail was granted to the accused Kishanpal alias Kushanpal.

Summary

The applicants, Omveer and Kishanpal alias Kushanpal, were implicated in a criminal case (Crime No. 130 of 2026) involving serious IPC offences including murder and attempt to murder. The first applicant, Omveer, had died, and the second applicant was in custody since May 27, 2026, with a criminal history of eight cases. The applicants contended that they were falsely implicated, not named in the FIR initially, and that the recovery of alleged contraband from them lacked independent witnesses. The State opposed bail but did not dispute the applicants' contentions. The Court, after reviewing the record and the nature of the allegations, found the circumstances suitable for bail without expressing an opinion on the merits. Consequently, bail was granted to Kishanpal alias Kushanpal subject to a personal bond, sureties, and conditions to ensure his appearance and prevent tampering with evidence.

Issues considered

  • Whether bail should be granted to the accused in a case involving serious IPC offences (305, 310(2), 317(3), 61(2) BNS).
  • Whether the accused poses a risk of fleeing, tampering with evidence, or committing further offences if released on bail.

Heard Sri Tarun Pratap Singh, learned counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. and
perused the record.

The applicants are involved in Case Crime No. 130 of 2026, under Sections 305,
310(2), 317(3), 61(2) BNS, Police Station -Islam Nagar District Budaun.

As per compliance affidavit filed on behalf of the State, applicant no. 1 Omveer was
died on 24.07.2026 (Annexure No. C.A.-1 to the counter affidavit).

Learned counsel for the applicants has submitted that the applicants are innocent and
have been falsely implicated in the present case. It is next submitted that the applicants
are not named in the FIR. The FIR has been lodged against the unknown persons and
their names came into the light during the course of investigation. It is further
submitted that a false recovery has been shown from the possession of the applicants.
There is no independent public witness of the alleged recovery. Co-accused of the
applicants namely Deepak Manoj, Bhure @ Bhura and Tejpal have been granted bail
by this Court vide order dated 31.8.2026 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application
No. 23941 of 2026. There are criminal history of eight cases against the applicant no.
2, which has been explained in para '5' of the supplementary affidavit. The applicant
no. 2 is in jail since 27.05.2026. Therefore, the applicant no. 2- namely Kishanpal
alias Kushanpal is entitled for bail. Learned counsel for the applicants has further
submitted that if the applicant no. 2 is released on bail, the applicant would not misuse
liberty of bail and is ready to co-operate in the trial.

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but he has not disputed the above
                                                                                                       BAIL No. 23843 of 2026
                                                                         2


                                    contention made by the learned counsel for the accused-applicants.

                                    Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, perusing the record and also
                                    considering 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. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.

                                    Let applicant no. 2 namely Kisanpal alias Kushanpal be released on bail in the
