HON'BLE ASHUTOSH SRIVASTAVA, J.

¶7

Heard Shri Rewati Raman patel, Advocate, holding brief of Shri Ravindra Pratap Singh, learned counsel for the applicant and Shri Arimardan Yadav, learned A.G.A. and perused the record of the case.

¶8

The present bail application under 483 B.N.S.S. has been filed on behalf of applicant Manish with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 652 of 2024, under Section 2/3 of Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, registered at Police Station-Nandgram, District-Ghaziabad, during pendency of the trial.

¶9

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. In gang-chart annexed as Annexure No. 2, four criminal cases has been mentioned in which the applicant is on bail. Criminal history of three other cases has been explained in the affidavit filed in support of bail application.

¶10

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 22.07.2024, undertakes that he will not misuse the liberty, if granted. It has also been pointed out that in the wake of heavy pendency of

¶14

Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant, but has not pointed out any other case against the applicant except the cases shown by learned counsel for the applicant.

¶15

Upon considering the totality of facts, nature and the evidence reflected from record and also taking into consideration the provision of Section 19(4) of the Act and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for bail. Hence, the present bail application is allowed .
