Holding
Bail was granted to the applicant subject to a personal bond, two sureties and conditions of non‑tampering with evidence, non‑intimidation of witnesses and regular appearance before the trial court.
Summary
Mukrim @ Mukarram applied for bail in a case registered under Sections 2 and 3 of the U.P. Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986. He contended that the prosecution was based on five other criminal cases for which he had already been released on bail, and that he was falsely implicated due to police rivalry and had no criminal history. The applicant had been in custody since 19 August 2026. The State opposed the bail, but the court found no merit in the opposition and, without addressing the substantive merits of the case, granted bail. The court ordered the applicant to furnish a personal bond and two sureties, subject to verification, and imposed conditions that he not tamper with evidence, intimidate witnesses, and appear before the trial court as required. Any breach of these conditions would lead to cancellation of bail.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the accused in a case under the U.P. Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986.
- Whether the applicant's claim of false implication and lack of prior criminal history justify bail.
- What conditions, if any, should be imposed on bail in such cases.
