Hon'ble Saurabh Lavania,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the
State and perused the record.
The present bail application has been filed on behalf of the
applicant in Case Crime No. 199 of 2021, under Sections 457,
380, 411 I.P.C. at Police Station Ramgarh Taal, District
Gorakhpur with a prayer to enlarge him on bail.
Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the first
information report has been lodged against unknown persons.
The name of the applicant was surfaced in the statement of co-
accused Ravi Nishad who was arrested during the investigation.
It is further stated that no incriminating article has been
recovered from the possession of the applicant. The applicant is
in jail since 24.06.2021. In these circumstances, the applicant is
entitled to be released on bail.
Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted
that the applicant is having a criminal history of eight cases.
In response to the same, learned counsel for the applicant has
submitted that after being arrested in the present case, the
applicant has been roped in all the eight cases by the police just
to show the good work of the police. In all cases, the applicant
has already been enlarged on bail by the competent Court of
Jurisdiction.
It is next submitted that there is no possibility of tampering of
any evidence. In such circumstances, applicant is entitled for
bail. It is also submitted that the applicant will never misuse the
liberty of bail and shall fully cooperate in the investigation.
Considering the rival submissions of learned counsel for
parties, material available on record, as well as totality of facts
and circumstances, considering the bail orders of the accused-
applicant and without expressing any opinion on the merit of
the case, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be
released on bail.

aforesaid Case Crime Number on his furnishing personal bond

concerned Court/Authority/Official.
(5) The concerned Court/Authority/Official shall verify the
authenticity of the computerized copy of the order from the
