It is further submitted on behalf of applicant that in the gang chart seven cases are shown against the applicant and in six cases, the applicant is already on bail.

There is no possibility of tampering of any evidence, therefore, the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer of the applicant but he does not dispute the fact that the applicant is on bail in the cases shown in the gang chart and he is also unable to reply that how another case for the offence under Section 41/411 IPC is shown in the gang chart. 6. Considering the submissions of learned counsel for parties and going through the record as also in view of the statement made by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant that the applicant will not involve in any activity, which is against the law, the twin conditions contained under Section 19 (4) of the U.P.
