HON'BLE JAI PRAKASH TIWARI, J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. and perused the
record.
The applicant is involved in Case Crime No. 115 of 2026, under Sections
303(2), 324(4), 317(2) BNS, Police Station - Sector 113 Noida, District
Gautam Buddh Nagar, during the pendency of trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent
and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He submits that the
applicant was not named in the FIR. As per the prosecution story,
informant had lodged the subject FIR against unknown persons with the
allegation that on the date of the alleged incident, laptop and other article
was theft after breaking the window of car of the informant, thereafter,
and applicant and his co-accused has been falsely implicated in the
subject case. It is submitted that applicant is neither known to the other
co-accused nor any recovery was made from his possession. It is alleged
that after three days, a false and concocted prosecution story was prepared
and the applicant was implicated along with other co-accused persons in
several criminal cases. It is further submitted that the applicant has no
concern with the alleged offence and that no incriminating material
connecting him with the present offence has been recovered. Co-accused
of the applicant namely Lavish Kumar has already granted bail by this
Court vide order dated 21.8.2026 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail
Application No. 29645 of 2026. Learned counsel further submits that
BAIL No. 31736 of 2026

subsequent to his arrest in the present case, the applicant was implicated
in 9 other criminal cases on the basis of alleged recoveries, in all of which
he has already been granted bail by the courts concerned. The details of
the said cases have been disclosed in paragraph 14 of the affidavit filed in
support of the bail application and the relevant bail orders have been
brought on record as Annexure No. 3. It is lastly submitted that the
applicant has been languishing in jail since 11.05.2026, that there is no
likelihood of his fleeing from justice or tampering with the prosecution
evidence; and that he is ready and willing to cooperate with the trial. It is,
therefore, prayed that the applicant may be enlarged on bail.
Learned A.G.A has opposed the prayer for bail but he has not disputed the
above contention made by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant.
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 - Rajendra Verma be released on bail in the aforesaid case
crime number on furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties of
the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to
following conditions, which are being imposed in the interest of justice:-
(i) The applicant shall appear before the trial court on the dates fixed,
unless his personal presence is exempted.
(ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make inducement, threat
or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to
dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or any police officer
or tamper with the evidence.
(iii) The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal and anti-social
activity.
In case of breach of any of the above condition, the prosecution will be at
liberty to move an application before this Court for cancellation of the
BAIL No. 31736 of 2026

bail of the applicant.
It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts
brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and
the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case
during trial.
