Hon'ble Ravindra Maithani, J. (Oral)
Applicant is in judicial custody in Sessions Trial
No.99 of 2020, State Vs. Deepak @ Deepu and others,
arising out of FIR No.521 of 2020, under Sections 147, 148,
149, 452, 307, 504 and 506 IPC, Police Station Laksar,
District Haridwar. He has sought his release on bail.
2. Heard learned counsel for the parties and
perused.
3. This is the fourth bail application. The first bail
application, being BA1 No.831 of 2021, was allowed on
06.04.2021, but it was subsequently cancelled on
29.04.2022. The second bail application, being BA2 No.184
of 2022, was rejected on 03.03.2023. The third bail
application, being BA3 No.53 of 2024, was also rejected on
25.02.2025.

4. It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant
that post rejection of the earlier bail applications, co-
accused Nitin has already been granted bail by this Court on
13.03.2026; in fact, earlier, the applicant was granted bail,
but his bail was cancelled on the ground that subsequently,
an FIR was lodged against him, but it is submitted that now
the trial based on the subsequent FIR has ended in acquittal
of the appellant. On this ground alone, co-accused has
already been granted bail.
5. These facts are not disputed by learned State
Counsel.
6. Having considered, this Court is of the view that
it is a case fit for bail and the applicant deserves to be
enlarged on bail.
7. The bail application is allowed.
8. Let the applicant be released on bail, on his
executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable
sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the
court concerned, subject to the following conditions:-
i) The applicant shall not approach the victim
or any of the witnesses of the case either
3personally or through any other person or
electronically.
ii) He shall not extend any kind of threats to
the witnesses.
iii) He shall not seek any adjournment in the
trial, especially on the date when witnesses
are present.
