¶6

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 only one criminal case 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 are 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 28.03.2019. In case he is enlarged on bail he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶7

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.

¶9

Considering the submission of learned counsel for the parties, facts of the case, nature of allegation and period of custody, gravity of offence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for bail.
