body2025
ORDER : 1. We have heard and considered the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner-complainant and have gone through the impugned order and the material placed on record. 2. The petitioner is the complainant of the case. He is before us by way of this special leave petition assailing the order dated 4th April, 2025 passed by the High Court of Allahabad granting bail to the accused Sandeep @ Tony (respondent No.2 in SLP(Crl.) No.8764 of 2025) and the accused Deepak (respondent No.2 in SLP(Crl.) No.8765 of 2025) in connection with case Crime No. 23/25 for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1) and 61(2) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 3. It is not in dispute that respondent No.2 Sandeep @ Tony and Deepak in SLP(Crl.) No.8764 of 2025 and SLP(Crl.) No.8765 of 2025 respectively, were neither named in the FIR nor in the statements of the eye witnesses recorded during the course of the investigation. The respondents Sandeep @ Tony and Deepak have been arraigned in the case on the basis of the confessional statements of the accused. 4. In this view of the matter, we are of the firm view that there is no error or infirmity in the orders passed by the High Court granting bail to the respondent Nos.2- Sandeep @ Tony and Deepak. 5. The special leave petitions, being devoid of merit, are dismissed. 6. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
