1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Sri V.P. Tripathi, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 2. This application under section 482 B.N.S.S. has been filed seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime No. 66 of 2025, under section 3(1) U.P. Gangsters and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, P.S. Kachhwa, District Mirzapur. 3. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. According to the gang chart, one case is shown against the applicant and in the said case the applicant has been enlarged on bail. Investigation is pending. The applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. 4. 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. 5. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 6. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations and
antecedents of the applicant, the fact that the applicant has been enlarged on bail in the solitary case pending against him, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 7. In the event of arrest, the applicant Virendra Gautam, 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
