Holding
The court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to bail‑bond and surety conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
Summary
The petitioner, a 19‑year‑old with no prior record, applied for anticipatory bail in a case registered under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 110, 351(2) and 352 of the B.N.S., alleging he assaulted an informant over a dispute concerning a bag. The petitioner claimed he was falsely implicated and that the injury caused was simple. The State opposed the bail, arguing the seriousness of the offences. The court considered the petitioner’s clean antecedent, the alleged nature of the injury, and the fact that it would be his first offence, and held that he could be released on bail pending trial. Accordingly, the court ordered his release on bail of Rs 10,000 with two sureties, one of whom must be his father, and imposed conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted under Section 482(2) in view of the alleged offences
- Whether the petitioner’s alleged conduct and first‑time status justify bail
- Whether the conditions imposed are sufficient to safeguard the investigation
