Heard Shri Pawan Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh, learned AGA for the State-respondents and perused the record.

¶9

The present bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been filed on behalf of applicant Salman Ahamad , with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 293 of 2025, under Section 3(1) Uttar Pradesh Gangsters & Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, registered at Police Station Muhammadabad, District Mau, during pendency of the trial.

¶10

It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case due to ulterior motive . Three cases of criminal history have sufficiently been explained.

¶11

It is further submitted that the applicant is not a member or leader or organizer of a gang and he has not abetted or assisted in the activities of a gang as enumerated in clause (b) of Section 2 of the Act. Applicant has no criminal history except the aforesaid case. It is next submitted that there is also no possibility of the applicant either fleeing away from the judicial process or tampering with the witnesses. The applicant, who is languishing in jail since 31.07.2025, undertakes that he will not misuse the liberty, if granted. It has also been pointed out that in the wake of heavy pendency of cases in the Court, there is no likelihood of any early conclusion of trial.
