Holding
The Court allowed the bail application, granting bail subject to bond, sureties, and standard conditions.
Summary
The applicant, Nadeem, filed a bail application in a case under Sections 2(b)(1)(17) and 3(1) of the Uttar Pradesh Gangster and Anti‑Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, alleging false implication based on a gang chart and citing prior bail in two other criminal matters. He had been in custody since 3 September 2026 and submitted a supplementary affidavit explaining his additional criminal history. The State, represented by the learned Additional Government Advocate, opposed the bail. The Court, without delving into the merits, granted bail on the condition of a personal bond, two sureties, and compliance with standard conditions such as non‑tampering with evidence and regular appearance before the trial court. The order emphasized that any breach would lead to cancellation of bail and that the trial on merits would continue unaffected.
Issues considered
- Whether bail can be granted to an accused under the U.P. Gangster and Anti‑Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 during the pendency of trial despite allegations of false implication.
