HON'BLE JITENDRA KUMAR SINHA, J.

¶10

Heard Shri Rajan Tripathi, learned counsel for the applicant and Shri Ashish Kumar Tripathi, learned AGA for the State- respondents and perused the record.

¶11

The present bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been filed on behalf of applicant, with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 290 of 2025, under Section 2/3 of U.P. Gangster and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, registered at Police Station Jalaun, District Jalaun, during pendency of the trial.

¶12

It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case. It is further submitted that the applicant is on bail in both the cases that have been shown against him in the gang chart, apart from the above, the applicant is also on bail in three other cases. The applicant is languishing in jail since 19.07.2025, 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.

¶13

Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant.

¶14

Applicant is on bail in both the cases that have been shown against him in the gang chart, apart from the above, the applicant is also on bail in three other cases. The applicant is languishing in jail since 19.07.2025.

¶15

Upon considering the totality of facts, nature and the evidence reflected from record 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.
