Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned AGA for the State.

¶8

As per learned counsel for the applicant, the present applicant is in jail since 28.02.2024 in Case Crime No.182 of 2024, under Section 2/3 (1) of U.P. Gangster and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Police Station - Kotwali Sadar, District - Unnao.

¶9

Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that against the present applicant, only one case has been indicated in the gang chart (Annexure No.2) in which the applicant has been granted bail. The bail order has been enclosed as Annexure No.3 to the bail application. Learned counsel for the applicant has further submitted that the present applicant has not misused the liberty of bail so granted to him and detention of the present applicant under Gangster Act is unwarranted. He has further submitted that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the case as he has not committed any offence as alleged. Further, the applicant undertakes that he shall not misuse the liberty of bail, if so granted by this Court and shall abide by all terms and conditions of the bail order and shall cooperate in the trial proceedings.

¶10

Learned A.G.A. has, however, opposed the prayer for bail but he could not dispute the aforesaid submissions of learned counsel for the applicant.

¶11

Without entering into merits of the issue; considering the arguments of learned counsel for the parties; contents and allegations of the FIR; the fact that one case has been shown against the present applicant in the gang-chart in which he has been granted bail and undertaking of the applicant that he shall cooperate in the trial proceedings and shall not misuse the liberty of bail, I find it appropriate to release the applicant on bail.

6. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed .
