The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Mungeri Lal @ Mauhar Singh with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 206 of 2017, under Sections 2/3 U.P. Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act , Police Station Iradatnagar, District- Agra, during pendency of trial.

¶7

It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that according to the gang chart the applicant is said to have been involved in one criminal case in which he has already been enlarged on bail by the court concerned. The applicant has falsely been implicated in the present case due to police rivalry. The applicant is not a member of any gang. The applicant is languishing in jail since 24.5.2017 and in case he is enlarged on bail he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶8

Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer of the applicant by contending that the applicant is a member of gang and habitual of committing crime. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar anti-social activities and will misuse the bail by extending threat and intimidation to the prosecution witnesses.
