Court No. - 75
Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 17457 of 2019
Applicant :- Guddu Gupta Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Satish Kumar Shukla Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Krishna Pratap Singh,J.
Heard Sri Satish Kumar Shukla, learned counsel for the applicant as well as Sri Sushil Kumar, learned AGA for the State and perused the material placed on record.
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 four criminal cases in which he has already been enlarged on bail by the court concerned. He has falsely been implicated in the present case due to police rivalry. He is not a member of any gang. It has been further submitted that there is nothing on record to show that applicant has gained any undue temporal pecuniary material for himself or any other person by Gangster and Anti Social Activities acts. It is also submitted that there is no report of District Magistrate/Special Court on record regarding acquisition of any movable or immovable property by the applicant. It was next submitted that the provisions of the Act has been used against the applicant like a weapon to harass and intimidate the innocent applicant. There is no chance of the applicant of fleeing away from the judicial process or tampering with the prosecution evidence. The applicant is languishing in jail since 08.02.2019. In case he is enlarged on bail he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
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.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also perusing the material on record, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case let the applicant-Guddu Gupta involved in Case Crime No.75 of 2019, under Section 3 (1) Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti Social Activities Prevention Act, 1986, Police Station-Barra, District-Kanpur Nagar be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions that :-
It may be observed that in the event of any breach of the aforesaid conditions, the court below shall be at liberty to proceed for the cancellation of applicant's bail.
