Holding
Anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
Summary
The petitioner, Ranjan Ram, feared arrest in a case alleging assault with a sharp-edged weapon under several sections of the B.N.S. He contended that the case was a retaliatory false complaint linked to an earlier complaint (No. 1128 of 2025) against the informant. The petitioner asserted innocence, highlighted the minor nature of the alleged injuries, and pointed to his clean antecedents. The State opposed the grant of anticipatory bail. Considering the counter‑case, the minor injuries, and the petitioner’s clean record, the Court allowed anticipatory bail, directing that if arrested within eight weeks he be released on a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
