Mr. Mohd. Safdar, learned counsel for the Applicant. 2. Mr. S.S. Chauhan, learned Deputy Advocate General assisted by Mr. Vikash Uniyal, learned Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. 3. The present Bail Application has been moved by the Applicant—Sahzad, aged about 35 years, S/o Ikhlakh, R/o Opposite Kabristan, Rampur Road, Roorkee, District Haridwar. The Applicant is in judicial custody in connection with Case Crime No. 05 of 2024, registered at Police Station Kotwali Roorkee, District Haridwar, for the offences punishable under Sections 2 read with Section 3 of the U.P. Gangsters and Anti-Social (Prevention) Act, 1986. 4. Heard Mr. Mohd. Safdar, learned counsel for the Applicant, and Mr. S.S. Chauhan, learned Deputy Advocate General for the State. The record has been perused. 5. Learned counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case; that there is no independent witness; and that the Applicant has been in judicial custody for a considerable period. It is further submitted that co- accused, namely Salim, has already been granted bail, and the present case stands on parity. Furthermore, the Applicant is a permanent resident of District Haridwar, and therefore, there is no likelihood of his absconding or tampering with the evidence. 6. Learned State Counsel opposed the Bail Application, however, it is admitted that the present case stands on parity. 7. Considering the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the Applicant, particularly the fact that the co-accused has already been granted bail, this Court is of the view that the case of the Applicant stands on parity. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, sufficient grounds for grant of bail are made out. 8. Accordingly, the Bail Application is allowed. 9. Let the Applicant be released on bail upon executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Court concerned. 10. All pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. (Ashish Naithani, J.) 02.04.2026 Shiksha
