"There is no specific allegation against the applicant and the co-accused Vijay Mishra, ex-MLA who is the principal accused, therefore, it would not be appropriate to refuse bail to the applicant on the basis of his criminal history. Besides, the applicant has been in jail since July 24, 2022. Therefore, the applicant is entitled to be released on bail," Justice Sameer Jain observed, allowing the bail plea.

The case was registered against Vishnu Mishra and his parents on August 4, 2020 at the Gopiganj police station in Bhadohi district.
