Hon'ble Sameer Jain,J.
1. Heard Mohd. Ashraf, learned counsel for the applicant
and Shri Suresh Bahadur, learned AGA for the State.
2. The instant bail application has been filed seeking
release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.251 of
2022, under Sections 3/5/8 of Cow Slaughter Act, P.S. -
Shergarh, District - Bareilly, during pendency of the trial.
3. As per the allegation, the applicant was apprehended
along with two other co-accused persons and from their
joint possession, two quintal beef was recovered.
4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the
entire allegations made against the applicant is totally
false and baseless and at the time of recovery, no public
witness was taken and entire recovery is planted one. He
further submits that although from the spot applicant
along with co-accused Babu was arrested, and, co-
accused Babu has already been released on bail by a co-
ordinate Bench of this Court, vide order dated 12.1.2023
passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.59502 of
2022. He next submitted that although applicant was
earlier implicated in one case under Cow Slaughter Act
and in another case under Gangster Act but in both of
them, he has already been released on bail. Learned
counsel lastly submits that applicant in the present matter
is languishing in jail since 23.11.2022.
5. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed
the prayer of bail but could dispute the fact that similarly
placed co-accused Babu has already been released on
bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court.
6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and
perused the record of the case.
7. From the perusal of the record, it appears that the
applicant along with co-accused Babu, was arrested on
the spot and from their joint possession, two quintal beef
has been recovered, and, the similarly placed co-accused
Babu has already been granted bail by a co-ordinate
Bench of this Court. Therefore, I am of the considered
view that applicant is also entitled to be release on bail.
8. Accordingly, the instant bail application is allowed.
9. Let the applicant - Uvaish be released on bail in the
aforesaid case on furnishing a personal bond and two
sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the
court concerned with the following conditions:-
(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.
10. 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 of the applicant.
