Patna High Court

Anil RajvanshiversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 1 April 2026
Disposal: BAIL GRANTED
Bench: SATYAVRAT VERMA

Holding

The Court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.

Summary

The petitioner, Anil Rajvanshi, sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case (PS Case No. 753 of 2024) that alleged offences under several sections of the BNS, 2023. He asserted that he has a clean record and that the informant’s allegations of assault on the informant’s family members are false, arising from a dispute over a passage. The State opposed the bail, contending the seriousness of the alleged offences. The Court examined the petitioner's claim of false implication and his lack of prior criminal history, and considered the discretion under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. It ordered that the petitioner be released on anticipatory bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties, subject to the usual conditions, and directed that the order be complied with by the trial court.

Issues considered

Whether anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner under Section 482(2) of the BNSS despite the serious nature of the alleged offences.
Whether the petitioner’s claim of false implication and clean antecedent justify the grant of bail.
Whether the conditions imposed by the Court are sufficient to safeguard the trial process.
