HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 10745 of 2025 Court No. - 15 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. The accused-applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No.287 of 2023, under Sections 2Kha(1)/3(1) U.P. Gangster and Anti Social Activity Act, Police Station Ram Coat, District Sitapur. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that in the gang chart, only one case has been shown against the applicant, and in that case, he has already been enlarged on bail. It is further submitted that in Case Crime No. 607 of 2022 which has been shown in the gang chart, while granting bail, the coordinate Bench of this Court, vide order dated 7.10.2025, filed as Annexure-3, has observed that there is no specific allegation against the applicant. It is also submitted that the applicant is in custody since 26.11.2022, and in case he is granted the facility of bail, there is no apprehension of his fleeing from the course of justice. He undertakes to abide by all conditions that may be imposed by the Court below and to cooperate in the expeditious conclusion of the trial. 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.
