                                       ORAL ORDER

2   03-04-2026                  Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Sections 191(2),

                   191(3), 190 and 103(1) of the B.N.S., 2023.

                                3. The allegation in the first information report is that

                   one Rahul Kumar was badly injured while being assaulted by a

                   number of accused persons including the present petitioner

                   while he was trying to help a victim of accident and was

                   misunderstood that the accident had been caused by the said

                   Rahul Kumar, a relative of the informant.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   from a bare perusal of the first information report, it would be

                   gathered that an accident had taken place and the assault upon

          Rahul Kumar was on account of such accident and the name of

          the petitioner Vinod Yadav features only in the list of accused

          persons which are ten in number and in addition to some

          unknown persons. The allegations against the petitioner, thus,

          are general and omnibus in nature. It is further submitted that as

          a matter of fact, on the same day, another FIR was lodged by the

          petitioner with regard to his son’s accident by a speeding

          motorcycle who eventually died and the said motorcycle

          actually belonged to Rahul Kumar (Annexure-P/2). It is,

          therefore, submitted that there are two versions of the same

          occurrence and as a matter of fact, it was Rahul Kumar who had

          caused accident of the child of the petitioner and upon his

          attempt to flee away, he collided with a pole due to which he

          succumbed to the injuries received. It is pointed out that

          similarly situated co-accused, Rohit Kumar has already been

          enlarged on anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated

          26.09.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No.68688 of 2025 (Annexure-6)

          and Pintu Kumar along with two others have been enlarged on

          anticipatory bail by coordinate Bench of this Court vide order

          dated 09.02.2026 passed in Cr.Misc.No.263 of 2026 (Annexure-7).

                       5. Learned APP for the State opposes the grant of

          anticipatory bail.

                                   6.    Taking      into     consideration   the   facts   and

                      circumstances of the case and also considering that there is

                      general and omnibus allegation against the petitioner and further

                      considering that there are two versions of the occurrence

                      throwing doubt on the prosecution case itself, let petitioner,

                      above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the

                      learned court below within a period of four weeks from today,

                      be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-

                      (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount

                      each to the satisfaction of the learned court below where the

                      case is pending/successor court in connection with Kako P.S.

                      Case No.304 of 2024, subject to the conditions as laid down

                      under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
