Hon'ble Manoj Misra,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in case crime No.599 of 2018, under Sections 2/3 of U.P. Gangsters and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, Police Station Katra, District Shahjahanpur with a prayer to enlarge him on bail.
The submission of the learned counsel for the applicant is that on account of his prior involvement in three cases, the applicant has been implicated under the provisions of the Gangsters Act. It has been submitted that in those three cases, the applicant has already been granted bail. It has been submitted that the applicant is innocent; he is in jail since 16.12.2018 and, in case he is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant, but could not point out anything material to the contrary.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as also the submissions made, without commenting upon merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail.

(iii) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code.
(iv) In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail during trial and in order to secure his presence, proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C. is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A of the Indian Penal Code.
