¶6

Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J.

¶7

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

¶8

The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant with a prayer to release the applicant on bail during the trial in Case Crime No. 175 of 2024, under Section 3(1) U.P. Gangster and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, P.S.- Kotwali Rudauli, District -Ayodhya/Faizabad.

¶9

It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that one case has been shown in the gang chart against the applicant in which he has been enlarged on bail and the same is explained in para 7 and 8 of the bail application. It has also been submitted that the applicant is not involved in any anti-social activities and he is neither member nor leader of any gang. He further submits that there is no other criminal history of the applicant except the the cases explained. The applicant is in jail since 23.04.2024. In case he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.

¶10

Per contra, learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer of bail but he could not dispute the fact that the applicant has been enlarged on bail and criminal history of the applicant has been explained aforesaid.

¶11

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and after perusal of record, I find that applicant has been enlarged on bail in the case mentioned in the gang chart, coupled with the fact that he is languishing in jail since 23.04.2024, thus without commenting on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case for bail.
