Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J.

¶6

Rejoinder affidavit filed today by the counsel for the applicant is taken on record.

¶7

In compliance of order dated 3.3.2025, the investigating officer concerned is present before this Court.

¶8

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

¶9

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. 46 of 2025, under Section 3(1) of U.P. Gangsters and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986(hereinafter, referred to as 'Act 1986') Police StationTadiyavan, District- Hardoi.

¶10

It is contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the instant matter. He submits that two cases have been shown in the gang chart against the applicant, in which he has been enlarged on bail. Except apart this case, there are two cases criminal history of the applicant, which have been explained properly.

¶11

It is further submitted that the allegations for disturbing the public order and gaining undue temporal, pecuniary, material or other advantage against the applicant, are vague and concocted. Further submitted that narration of the first information report, transpires that the allegations are based upon pending criminal case(s) and not upon the newly allegation(s) or discovery of fact(s) having serious impact on the society at large, for the reasons, the Act was promulgated 1986. He added that the police is using the provisions of the Act, 1986, as a weapon to harass and intimidate the applicant and further, it also appears that the district administration, in order to show the good work or to seek appreciation from the higher authorities, has invoked the provisions of the Act, which is uncalled for and unjustified.

¶12

Adding his arguments, he submits that the applicant is not involved in any anti-social activities and he is neither Member nor the Leader of any gang.

¶13

It is further submitted that the applicant is languishing in jail since 29.1.2025 and he is not guilty of the offence under the Act 1986 and he undertakes that he would not commit any offence while on bail and would never try to tamper the evidences or would influence the witnesses and would never jump the conditions of bail and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. Therefore, submission is that the applicant is entitled for bail.

¶14

Per contra, learned A.G.A. appearing for the State has opposed the contentions aforesaid, but, he has fairly conceded that in the cases mentioned in the gang chart, the applicant is on bail.

¶15

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and after perusal of material placed on record, it transpires that the applicant is languishing in jail since 29.1.2025 and criminal history has been explained and he has undertaken that he would not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶16

Considering the submissions of learned counsel of both sides, nature of accusation and severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment and considering larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case of bail.
