State of U.P.
                                                                .....Opposite
                                                                      Party(s)

Court No. - 71
                 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J.

1. Heard, Learned counsel for the applicant, Miss Astha Sharma, Learned

Advocate, holding the brief of Sri Surendra Mohan Mishra, the Learned

counsel for the informant, the Learned A.G.A. for the State and perused

the record.

2. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed on behalf of the

applicant in Case Crime No.89 of 2026, under Sections 115(2), 117(2),

352, 351(3), 191(2), 109(1), 3(5) of the B.N.S. 2023, P.S.- Jogiya

Udaipur, District- Siddharth Nagar, with a prayer to enlarge him on

anticipatory bail as the applicant apprehends his arrest in the above-

mentioned case.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that the applicant has

been falsely implicated in the present case. The F.I.R. was initially lodged

against 8 to 10 unknown persons but none of the injured, who are 4 in

number, have received any injury which may be considered to be

dangerous to life. Except the injured Manoj Singh, the other injured have

all received simple injuries. The injured Manoj Singh has received a

fracture on his finger which, although is a grievous injury, is not an injury

which can be considered to be dangerous to life. The injured have only
                                                     NABAIL No. 8691 of 2026
                                2


assigned a general role to the applicant and the co-accused. Similarly

situated co-accused Shashikant has been granted anticipatory bail by this

Court     in    CRIMINAL            MISC.     ANTICIPATORY           BAIL

APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 8708 of 2026. The applicant has

no criminal antecedents.

4. Miss Astha Sharma, Learned Advocate, holding the brief of Sri

Surendra Mohan Mishra, the Learned counsel for the informant and the

Learned A.G.A. for the State have opposed the prayer for grant of

anticipatory bail and have contended that the applicant is equally involved

in the present case with the other accused. In fact, 5 people have received

injuries. The Learned A.G.A. and the Learned counsel for the informant,

however, could not dispute the fact that the case of the applicant stands on

a similar footing to that of the co-accused Shashikant nor the fact that the
applicant has no criminal antecedents.

5. I have considered the submissions made by the Learned counsels for

the parties and perused the material brought on the record.

6. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant. The case of the

applicant stands on a similar footing to that of the co-accused Shashikant,

who has already been enlarged on anticipatory bail by this Court in

CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S

482 BNSS No. - 8708 of 2026. The applicant has no criminal

antecedents.


7. Taking into account all the facts and circumstances of the case and

without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it fit to

enlarge the applicant on anticipatory bail.

8. In view of the above, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant

is allowed.

                                                                     3


                                    9. In the event of the arrest of the applicant Ravikant Yadav, he shall be

                                    released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime on anticipatory bail on

                                    furnishing a personal bond and surety each in the like amount to the

                                    satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court

                                    concerned with the following conditions:-

                                    i. the applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police

                                    officer as and when required;

                                    ii. that the applicant shall not, directly or indirectly make any 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 to any police

                                    officer;

                                    iii. that the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission

                                    of the Court;

                                    iv. that the applicant shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution

                                    witness;

                                    10. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the Court concerned

                                    shall be at liberty to cancel the bail.

                                    11. It is made clear that observations made hereinabove are exclusively

                                    for deciding the instant anticipatory bail application and are not to be

                                    considered to be an opinion on the merits of the case.



                                                                                      (Rajiv Lochan Shukla,J.)
