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 has been filed with the prayer to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant in Case Crime No. 544 of 2025, under section 2b(1)/3(1) U.P. Gangsters and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, P.S. Baradari, District Bareilly. 3. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present 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. It is next contended that apart from the case mentioned in the gang chart, the applicant is involved in another case. In the said case final report has been submitted by the Investigating Officer. Investigation is pending in the present case. The applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. In case, the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, he will not misuse the said liberty. 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.
