Counsel for Applicant :- Anil Kumar Pandey 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 one case mentioned in the gang chart. In that case applicant has been released on bail. The bail order is on record. Apart from the case mentioned in the gang chart, there is no other case pending against the accused applicant. It has been further submitted that applicant is in jail since 02.01.2025 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. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the co-accused Shah Faisal who was assigned the similar role has been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 11.07.2025 passed in criminal misc. bail application No. 6411 of 2025. Learned counsel for the applicant seeks parity with the order of the co-accused. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail and has submitted that single case in the gang chart is under NDPS Act. The recovered quantity is commercial. Perused the record. Considering that co-accused Shah Faisal has already been granted bail by this Court, and further that the applicant was also granted bail in Case Crime No. 766 of 2024 under Sections 8/21/25/29/60 of the NDPS Act, I am of the view that the applicant, who is in custody since 02.01.2025, is entitled to be released on bail on the ground of parity. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed on the ground of parity. Let the applicant, Shahanshah involved in Case Crime No.01 of 2025, under Sections 3(1) of U.P. Gangster and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Police Station - Dewa District - Barabanki 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.

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.
