Court No. - 90
Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 2692 of 2021
Applicant :- Parvez Kuraishi Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Dinesh Pathak Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Ajit Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material on record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in Case Crime No. 605 of 2020, under Section 3(1) U.P. Gangster & Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, P.S. Kotwali, district-Ghazipur, is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
The FIR dated 21.8.2020 was lodged against the applicant, alleging involvement of the applicant in offences under the provisions of the U.P. Gangsters Act. The contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that in the gang chart appearing on page no.10 of the affidavit, the name of the applicant has been shown only in respect of one case bearing case crime no. 0443 of 2018. It is contented that the applicant has been enlarged on bail in that case by means of the order dated 10.12.2018 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application no. 47206 of 2018, which has been enclosed as Annexure-3 to the affidavit accompanying bail application. It is further contended that applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is also contended that apart from Case Crime no. 0443 of 2018 and the present case, the applicant has no criminal history.
The prayer for bail has been vehemently opposed by learned A.G.A. However he does not dispute the fact that the applicant has been granted bail in solitary case mentioned against him in the gang chart.
Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of the punishment, submissions of learned counsel for the parties, considering the law laid down in the case of Data Ram Vs. State of U.P. and others, 2018(3) SCC 22 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail during the
pendency of the trial.
Let the applicant, Parvez Kuraishi be released on bail in the aforesaid case on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions:-
It is further directed that the identity, status and residence proof of the sureties be verified by the authorities concerned before they are accepted.
In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the trial court will be at liberty to cancel the bail.
In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the trial court will be at liberty to cancel the bail.
The party shall file computer generated copy of such order downloaded from the official website of High Court Allahabad, self attested by learned counsel for the applicant along with a self attested identity proof of the said persons (preferably Aadhar Card) mentioning the mobile number (s) to which the said Aadhar Card is linked before the concerned Court/Authority/Official.
The concerned Court/Authority/Official shall verify the authenticity of such computerized copy of the order from the official website of High Court Allahabad and shall make a declaration of such verification in writing.
