Heard Sri Anikesh Srivastava, advocate, holding brief of Sri Rakesh Pratap Singh, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Nirmal Kumar Pandey, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State. 2. As per learned counsel for the applicant, the present applicant is languishing in jail since 04.12.2024 in Case Crime No. 494 of 2024, under Section 2/3 of U.P. Gangster and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Police Station- Salon, District- Raebareli. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the present applicant has falsely been implicated in this case as he has not committed any offence as alleged in the prosecution story. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has further submitted that against the present applicant there are two cases shown in the gang chart (Annexure No.1) in which the applicant has been granted bail by the learned court below. The bail orders have been enclosed as Annexure No. 2 & 3 with this bail application. The criminal history of the present applicant is duly explained in para 4 of the bail application. He has further submitted that the present applicant has not misused the liberty of bail so granted to him and detention of the present applicant under Gangster Act is unwarranted. He undertakes that the applicant shall not misuse the liberty of bail, if so granted by this Court, and shall abide by all terms and conditions of the bail order and shall cooperate with the trial proceedings properly. 5. On the other hand, learned Additional Government Advocate has, however, opposed the prayer for bail by submitting that the involvement of the present applicant has been found in the commission of offence, therefore, he may not be enlarged on bail, but he has not disputed the aforesaid submission of learned counsel for the applicant. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, perusing the material available on record, arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the parties and also considering the fact that in all the cases shown in the gang-chart the present applicant has been granted bail, the undertaking of the present applicant that he shall not misuse the liberty of bail and shall abide by all terms and conditions of bail order and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the view that the present applicant may be released on bail. Therefore, the instant bail application is allowed. 7. Let the applicant- Ranjeet Kumar be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (ii) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code. (iii) In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail during trial and in order to secure his presence proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C. is issued and the applicants fail to appear before the court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A of the Indian Penal Code. (iv) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. If in the opinion of the trial court absence of the applicant is deliberate or without sufficient cause, then it shall be open for the trial court to treat such default as abuse of liberty of bail and proceed against him in accordance with law. The present applicant shall not leave the country without prior permission of the Court. (Rajesh Singh Chauhan,J.) Order Date :- 29.1.2025/Manoj K.
