Holding
The court granted bail to the accused subject to a personal bond, two sureties and specified conditions.
Summary
Arjun Tyagi applied for bail in a case registered under Sections 2 and 3 of the U.P. Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 (Crime No.202 of 2026). He contended that the prosecution was based on a single criminal case already listed in a gang chart, that he had previously been granted bail in that case, and that he was falsely implicated due to police rivalry, having no prior criminal record. The State opposed the bail. The High Court, without expressing an opinion on the merits, allowed the bail application, directing the applicant to furnish a personal bond and two sureties, and imposing conditions not to tamper with evidence, intimidate witnesses, and to appear before the trial court. The court also ordered verification of the identity, status and residence of the applicant and sureties before accepting the bonds. Breach of any condition would result in cancellation of bail.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the accused under Sections 2/3 of the U.P. Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 pending trial.
