Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:106524 Court No. - 69 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 5303 of 2025 Applicant :- Shamsuddin Alias Shamoodin Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Aditya Gupta,Harsh Vardhan Gupta Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Vivek Varma,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as Sri Neeraj Kumar Sharma, learned AGA for the State, and perused the material placed on record. 2. This application has been filed seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime No. 146 of 2025, under Section 2/3 U.P. Gangster and Antisocial Activities (Prevention) Act, Police Station Sector 39, Noida, District Gautam Budh Nagar. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that according to the gang chart, three cases are shown against the applicant and in the said cases the applicant has been enlarged on bail. Apart from the cases mentioned in the gang chart, the applicant is involved in two cases. In the said cases also he has been enlarged on bail. He further submits that in the F.I.R., in issue, the allegations with regard to disturbing the public order, as also regarding gaining undue temporal, pecuniary, material or other advantage of like nature against the applicant are vague. In absence of allegation concerning an act or omission on the part of an accused, covered by the definition of terms "gang" and "gangster" as provided under Section 2 of the Gangsters Act, no F.I.R. is maintainable. In the instant case, the F.I.R. is based upon the pending criminal cases and not upon any new allegations or discovery of facts having serious reflection on the society, for which purpose the Gangsters Act was enacted. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicant with the offence. It is next submitted that the investigation is pending and the applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. 4. Learned AGA opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicant, in particular the fact, that the applicant has been enlarged on bail in the cases pending against him; at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicant with the offence, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail. 6. In the event of arrest, the applicant Shamsuddin @ Shamoodin involved in the aforesaid case crime be released on anticipatory bail during pendency of trial, on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions: (i) The applicant shall co-operate with the Investigating Officer during investigation and shall report to the Investigating Officer as and when required for the purpose of conducting investigation; (ii) 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 from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicant shall not leave the country during the currency of trial without prior permission from the concerned trial Court. (iv) The applicant shall surrender his passport, if any, to the concerned Court forthwith. His passport will remain in custody of the concerned Court. (v) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that they shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence and the witnesses are present in court. (vi) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. 7. In default of any of the conditions, the court concerned is at liberty to pass appropriate orders for enforcing and compelling the same. 8. The application stands disposed of.
