Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned Additional Government Advocate for the State as well as perused the record. The present bail application has been filed by accused-applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No. 298 of 2023, under Section 2/3 U.P. Gangsters & Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Police Station Manjhila, District Hardoi. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that in the gang chart, only a solitary case is shown against the applicant, in which he has already been granted bail. A copy of the said bail order has been annexed as Annexure-2 to the bail application. It is further submitted that apart from the aforementioned case, the applicant has a criminal history of one more case. A copy of the bail orders has been annexed as Annexure-3 to the bail application. The applicant is languishing in jail since 27.3.2023. It is also submitted that the applicant is ready to furnish an undertaking in terms of requirement of Section 19(4)(b) of U.P. Gangsters & Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away from judicial custody or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. Considering the long incarceration gone into by the applicant since 27.3.2023, in the gang chart only one case is shown against him in which he has already been granted bail, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the view that it is a fit case for granting bail to the applicant. Accordingly, the application is allowed. Let the applicant Purushottam @ Purushottam Bajpai involved in the aforesaid case crime number 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 also file an undertaking in terms of requirement of Section 19(4)(b) of U.P. Gangsters & Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 that he will not indulge in any case or misuse the liberty of bail.
