¶11

2-The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 76 of 2026, under Section 2/3 (1) of U.P. Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Police Station Gadwar District Ballia during the pendency of trial.

¶12

3- It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant that on the basis of gang chart, the applicant is said to have been involved in one criminal case being Case Crime No. 221 of 2025, in which he has already been enlarged on bail, copy of bail order dated 13.04.2026 has been brought on record as Annexure No.3 to the bail application. It is argued that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. The applicant is not a member of any gang. There is no prospect of trial of the present case being concluded in near future due to heavy dockets. The applicant is not a previous convict. The applicant is languishing in jail since 03.04.2026 and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶13

4-Per contra, learned Additional Government Advocate has opposed the bail prayer of the applicant by contending that the applicant is member of gang. In case the applicant is released on bail, he will again indulge in similar antisocial activities and will misuse the bail by extending threat and intimidation to the prosecution witnesses.
