The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted anticipatory bail to Umar Ansari, son of Mukhtar Ansari in connection with a case relating to a property dispute case.
A bench comprising of Justices MM Sundresh and PK Mishra passed the order.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal and Advocates Nizam Pasha and Zafeer Ahmad appeared for Umar Ansari.
Umar Ansari has challenged the order of Allahabad High Court’s Lucknow bench dated April 13, 2023, which denied his anticipatory bail.
Furthermore, Umar Ansari sought anticipatory bail in the FIR registered in 2020 in Hazratganj, Lucknow under Sections 120-B, 420, 467, 468, 471, IPC and Section 3 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984.
The FIR was lodged by the Lekhpal In-Charge of Jiamau, Tehsil Sadar, Lucknow, against 3 named accused persons Abbas Ansari, Umar Ansari, and Mukhtar Ansari relating to an ‘Evacuee Property’.
The prosecution has alleged that the accused persons have prepared forged documents under a conspiracy to gain undue benefit by threatening people and they have caused loss of the valuable Evacuee Property to the Government.
Moreover it alleged that Umar Ansari is one of the beneficiaries of the alleged forgery and he has been charged with committing the offence of criminal conspiracy as well.
