Contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that applicant was not named in the F.I.R. and on the basis of recovery of Rs.650/- and one country-made pistol, he has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has already been filed. Therefore, there is no requirement of custodial interrogation. The applicant is languishing in jail since 30.01.2023. In case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. 4. Per contra, learned State Law Officer has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the applicant is involved in 33 cases which includes serious offences such as attempt to murder, murder, gangster act, goonda act. Therefore, the applicant is not entitled to be enlarged on bail. 5. After hearing the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the record, it appears that applicant was involved in several criminal cases from the year 2001 and he has 33 criminal cases towards his credit which includes cases of attempt to murder, murder, gangster act, goonda act, theft and loot. Therefore, considering the long history of the applicant and as well as for the reason that for preventing the applicant from committing further offence and also to conclude the trial of the cases pending against him, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 6. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. 7. However, considering the fact that all the cases are pending before the District Judgeship, Azamgarh, the District Judge, Azamgarh, is directed to ensure the expeditious disposal of cases against applicant pending in different courts of Azamgarh. 8. Registrar (Compliance) is directed to send a copy of this order to District Judge, Azamgarh. Order Date :- 9.7.2025 KS Digitally signed by :- KISHAN SINHA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
