Anticipatory bail was granted to the petitioner subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.
Summary
Petitioner Raja Ram sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case registered under multiple sections of the BNS, 2023. He alleged that the informant, a neighbour with whom he had a passage dispute, falsely implicated him, claiming no specific allegation or motive and that the alleged injury was minor. The State opposed the bail, arguing the seriousness of the offences. The Court examined the submissions, noting the lack of concrete evidence against the petitioner and the possibility of false implication. It ordered that, if arrested or surrendered within six weeks, the petitioner be released on anticipatory bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was allowed.
