Holding
The court held that bail could not be granted to the applicant.
Summary
Aftab Alam filed a criminal miscellaneous bail application (No. 949 of 2026) before the Allahabad High Court seeking release from custody in a case instituted by the State of Uttar Pradesh. The primary issue was whether the applicant was eligible for bail under the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. The bench, presided over by Justice Ashutosh Srivastava, declined to grant bail, referring to a prior order in Aman Agarwal vs. State of U.P. (Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 42970 of 2025) which had similarly denied bail. No substantive merits of the underlying offence were discussed, and the application was dismissed. Consequently, the applicant remains in custody.
