Holding
Anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner subject to the conditions stipulated under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. and Section 482(2) B.N.S.S.
Summary
Petitioner Parwez Alam sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B of the IPC, alleging that the FIR was filed without a show‑cause notice despite his alleged use of a forged teaching certificate. He also disclosed two prior cases under Section 498A IPC. The State opposed the bail. The Court, after considering the submissions, granted anticipatory bail on the condition that the petitioner furnishes a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of equal amount, and complies with the conditions of Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. and Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S., should he be arrested or surrender within six weeks.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner in view of the alleged offences under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120‑B IPC.
- Whether the petitioner’s prior cases under Section 498A IPC affect the grant of anticipatory bail.
- Whether the absence of a show‑cause notice justifies anticipatory bail.
