AMAN CHAUDHARY, J. (ORAL)

Hon'ble The Supreme Court titled as Maulana Mohd. Amir Rashadi vs. State

of U.P. and others, 2012(2) SCC 382

3. The custody certificate dated 23.12.2025, filed by the learned State

counsel is taken on record. As per the same, the petitioner is behind bars for 2

years, 4 months and 4 days.

4. Learned State counsel opposes the bail on the ground that there are

specific allegations against the petitioner of having given kasola blow on the

head and shoulder of the deceased-Rajesh. However, he is unable to controvert

the submissions with regard to stage, petitioner being on bail in another case

and co-accused having been enlarged on bail.

5. Heard.

6. Hon'ble The Supreme Court in the case of Maulana Mohd. Amir

Rashadi (Supra)had held that, “As observed by the High Court, merely on the

basis of criminal antecedents, the claim of the second respondent cannot be

rejected. In other words, it is the duty of the Court to find out the role of the

accused in the case in which he has been charged and other circumstances such

as possibility of fleeing away from the jurisdiction of the Court, etc.”

7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, in particular

that the petitioner is in custody for 2 years, 4 months and 4 days; on bail in

another case; co-accused are on bail; Charges were framed on 03.04.2025,

however, 18 more prosecution witnesses still remain to be examined, the trial is

likely to take a considerable time, further incarceration of the petitioner would

be violative of his right enshrined under Article 21 of the Constitution of India,

the present petition is allowed.
