HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 9095 of 2026 Court No. - 71 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J. 1. Heard, Learned counsel for the applicant, the Learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 2. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant in Case Crime No.0205 of 2026, under Section 2/3 of U.P. Gangsters and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, Police Station- Civil Lines, District Meerut, with a prayer to enlarge him on anticipatory bail as the applicant apprehends his arrest in the above-mentioned case. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case on the basis of a solitary base case mentioned in the gang chart. The applicant is on bail in the said case. The co-accused Dilavar Sainin has been granted interim protection by this Court in Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No. 20512 of 2026 and the co- accused Zafar Abbas has also been granted interim protection by this Court in Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No. 20509 of 2026. The case of the applicant stands on a similar footing. The applicant has criminal history of two other cases, one being a matrimonial dispute and the other being a minor offence which do not, in the event of conviction, entail a punishment of more than seven years. 4. Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the factual submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Asheesh Mani Tripathi, Bhishm Pal Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Kamal Rathore .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) 5. I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties. 6. The applicant has been nominated in the present case on the basis of a solitary base case mentioned in the gang chart. He is on bail in the said case. The criminal history of the applicant has been duly explained. In the prima facie opinion of the Court, there appears to be least likelihood of the applicant repeating the crime in the near future. Co-accused have been granted interim protection by this Court. 7. Taking into account all the facts and circumstances of the case and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it fit to enlarge the applicant on anticipatory bail. 8. In view of the above, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant is allowed. 9. In the event of the arrest of the applicant Kamal Rathore, he shall be released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime on anticipatory bail on furnishing a personal bond and surety each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court concerned with the following conditions:- i. the applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; ii. that 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 him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; iii. that the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court; iv. that the applicant shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witness; 10. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the Court concerned shall be at liberty to cancel the bail. NABAIL No. 9095 of 2026 2 11. It is made clear that observations made hereinabove are exclusively for deciding the instant anticipatory bail application and are not to be considered to be an opinion on the merits of the case.
