Holding
The Court held that anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioners, subject to conditions, as the application satisfied the requirements of Section 438(2) of the CrPC.
Summary
The petitioners, a group of Yadav family members residing in Chaiti village, were implicated in an assault case (PS Belhar Case No.73 of 2025) involving multiple offences under the B.N.S., 2023. They filed an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, fearing arrest. The State opposed the bail, citing the seriousness of the charges, which included sections relating to assault, causing grievous injury, and other offences. The Court examined the allegations and, noting the lack of detailed evidence against the petitioners at the stage of the application, decided to grant anticipatory bail. The bail was conditioned on the petitioners surrendering within six weeks, furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, and complying with any further conditions imposed by the lower court. The order was pronounced by Justice Sandeep Kumar.
