Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:39474 Court No. - 14 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 6379 of 2025 Applicant :- Ghanshyam Verma Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. Counsel for Applicant :- Anand Dubey Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the accused-applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. Learned counsel for accused-applicant while pressing the bail application submits that the accused-applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case as well as in eleven cases mentioned in the gang chart. In all the eleven cases mentioned in the gang chart, he has been released on bail. The bail orders are collectively on record as Annexure No.3 to the bail application. Apart from the cases mentioned in the gang chart, applicant has criminal history of four cases out of which in three cases applicant has been granted bail, the bail orders are collectively on record as Annexure No.4 to the bail application and in one case i.e. Case Crime No.326 of 2020, final report has been submitted on 23.11.2020. It has been further submitted that applicant is in jail since 03.03.2023 and if facility of bail is granted, there is no apprehension that he will flee from the judicial process and he will abide by the orders passed by the Court below and will co- operate in speedy trial of the case. He submits that co-accused persons namely, Kamlawti Verma and Balwant Singh have been granted bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide orders dated 27.01.2025 & 27.06.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos.753 of 2025 & 5773 of 2025. Applicant claims parity. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but has not disputed the factual submissions made by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and also considering the nature of allegations, arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties and the fact that applicant has been enlarged on bail in eleven cases shown in the gang chart as well as other cases as mentioned hereinvabove so also the bail orders of aforesaid co-accused persons and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant, Ghanshyam Verma involved in Case Crime No.204 of 2024, under Sections 3(1) of U.P. Gangster and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Police Station - Gomti Nagar District - Lucknow East (Commissionerate Lucknow) be released on bail 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 which are being imposed in the interest of justice:- (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial. (ii) The applicant will not pressurize/ intimidate the prosecution witness. (iii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. (iv) 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. (v) The applicant shall submit an undertaking on affidavit in terms of Section 19 (4) of the U.P. Gangster and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 that he will not indulge in any case for or misuse the liberty of bail.
