Holding
The bail application is dismissed as it lacks merit and no new grounds are presented.
Summary
Naresh Yadav applied for bail in a criminal case (Crime No.23 of 2026) involving charges under Section 351(3) of the IPC, Sections 62/64(2) of the B.N.S., and Section 67A of the Income Tax Act. This was his second bail application after a prior denial on 18.05.2026. The applicant's counsel could not demonstrate any new ground for bail, leading the court to find the application meritless. Consequently, the bail petition was rejected. The court, however, directed that the pending trial be concluded expeditiously, provided there is no legal impediment. The observations were limited to the bail application and do not affect the trial's merits.
