Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:42910 Court No. - 14 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 6809 of 2025 Applicant :- Mohd. Zakir Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. 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 the accused-applicant, while pressing the present bail application, submits that the accused-applicant has been falsely implicated not only in the present case but also in the only case mentioned in the gang chart. In that case, the accused-applicant has already been granted bail. While granting bail in the case mentioned in the gang chart i.e. case crime No. 766 of 2024, under Sections 8/21/25/29/60 of the NDPS Act, the Court had duly considered the conditions laid down under Section 37(1)(b) of the NDPS Act. A copy of the bail order is annexed as Annexure No. 3 to the bail application. Except for the aforesaid case mentioned in the gang chart, no other case is pending against the accused-applicant.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the co-accused Shah Faisal and Shahanshah have been enlarged on bail by this Court vide orders dated 11.07.2025 and 22.07.2025 passed in criminal misc. bail application Nos. 6411 of 2025 and 6673 of
2025. Learned counsel for the applicant seeks parity with the
order of the co-accused. 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 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. On due consideration to the fact that in the solitary case mentioned in the gang chart, he has been enlarged on bail; apart from the solitary case mentioned in the gang chart, there is no other case pending against the applicant; the co-accused persons Shah Faisal and Shahanshah have been granted bail by this Court as well as considering the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 02.01.2025, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail on the ground of parity. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed on the ground of parity. Let the applicant, Mohd. Zakir, 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. (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. (vi) 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 (Now Section 269 of BNS). (vi) 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. (now Section 84 BNSS) is issued and the applicant fails 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 IPC (now Section 209 of BNS). It is clarified that the observations made in this order are confined to the present anticipatory bail application and shall have no bearing on the merits of the trial.
