Holding
The court held that, notwithstanding the assault allegations, the petitioner’s clean antecedent and the nature of injuries warranted the grant of anticipatory bail under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
Summary
The petitioner, Anil Kumar Yadav, sought anticipatory bail after being implicated in an FIR alleging assault under several sections of the Indian Penal Code. He claimed innocence, arguing that the allegations were vague and that he had a clean antecedent. The State and the informant opposed the bail application. The court considered the nature of the accusations, the injuries sustained, and the petitioner’s clean record. It concluded that these factors justified granting anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the court ordered that if arrested within eight weeks, the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a Rs.10,000 bond with two sureties, subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 despite allegations under the IPC.
- Whether the allegations constitute a specific overt act sufficient to deny bail.
