1. Heard Sri Arti Shukla, the learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Shikhar Srivastava, the learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the records. 2. The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.107 of 2025, under Sections 2/3 of Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Antisocial Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, registered at Police Station Sangipur, District Pratapgarh. 3. The gang chart mentions involvement of the applicant in 6 cases, in which he has been granted bail. The applicant is involved in 36 other cases, in which he has been enlarged on bail. 4. The alleged gang leader Ansar @ Chitau has already been granted bail by means of an order dated 05.08.2025 passed by this court in Crl. Misc. Bail Application No.7261 of 2025. Another co-accused Shakir has also been granted bail by means of an order dated 13.08.2025 passed by this Court in Crl. Misc. Bail Application No.7430 of 2025. 5. In the affidavit filed in support of bail application it has been stated that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. It has also been stated in the affidavit filed in support of the bail application that the applicant is neither a leader nor member of any gang. 6. The learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but he could not dispute the aforesaid aspects of the matter. 7. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the applicant has been granted bail in all the cases mentioned in the gang chart and in the other cases in which he is involved; that two co-accused persons have already been granted bail and that the applicant is languishing in jail since 25.05.2025 and without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid crime. 8. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 9.
Let the applicant- Monu Qureshi @ Shakil be released on bail in the aforesaid case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of magistrate/court concerned, subject to following conditions:- (i) the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; (ii) the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses; (iii) the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless his appearance is exempted by the learned trial court.
