Allahabad HC rejects bail of accused in Umesh Pal murder case

The Allahabad High Court has cancelled the bail granted to Farhan, who is accused of murdering BSP MLA Raju Pal and two security guards in broad daylight.
The bail was granted to Farhan by the Sessions Court on November 24, 2005. \The order has been given by Justice DK Singh, who accepted the bail cancellation application of deceased Krishna Kumar Pal alias Umesh Pal.
While cancelling Farhan’s bail, the HC said that the accused not only violated his bail conditions but also continued to commit one crime after the other.
There are 26 criminal cases registered against Farhan, which include three cases of murder, three cases of kidnapping, two cases of murderous assaults and raping a minor.
“Leaving the petitioner free is putting the life and safety of witnesses and common citizens at risk. The court has cancelled the bail while cancelling the order to release the accused on bail,” the court stated.
The Allahabad HC also denied bail to dreaded criminal Mohammad Ashraf alias Khalid Azim, the younger brother of Bahubali mafia don Atiq Ahmed, in the 2015 murder conspiracy case.

While rejecting the application, the court said that 51 serious criminal cases had been registered against the accused. He is also accused of the recent murder of Umesh Pal, the eyewitness of the Raju Pal murder.
While granting bail, the nature of the crime, the evidence and its impact on society should be considered, and the accused of serious crimes like murder, and kidnapping cannot be granted bail.
Earlier, the Allahabad HC also rejected the bail application of Atiq Ahmed’s son Ali Ahmed in a 2021 extortion case.
