Holding
The court held that the petitioners are entitled to anticipatory bail subject to the conditions of Section 438(2) CrPC and Section 482(2) B.N.S.S.
Summary
The petitioners, five Yadavs from Jamui district, applied for anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case registered under multiple sections of the Bihar Negotiable Securities Act, 2023. They contended that the FIR does not specifically allege any assault or abuse by them and that they have been falsely implicated by the informant. The State opposed the bail, arguing the seriousness of the offences. The court, after considering the submissions, granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners, subject to a bail bond of Rs.10,000 and two sureties each, and conditioned it on compliance with Section 438(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code and Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S. The order was made effective for six weeks from the date of the order.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioners are entitled to anticipatory bail despite the FIR alleging offences under the B.N.S., 2023.
- Whether the FIR specifically implicates the petitioners in the alleged assaults.
- Whether the State's opposition suffices to deny anticipatory bail.
