Holding
Bail was granted to the petitioner subject to the conditions prescribed under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
Summary
The petitioner, Ravish Kumar, was implicated in a case registered under Sections 317(2) and 111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for alleged involvement in illegal sand mining and a stolen motorcycle. The FIR was based on a secret informant’s tip that the accused were riding a motorcycle without a number plate and fled when police arrived. The petitioner contended he had no connection to the motorcycle or the sand‑mining activity, possessed a clean criminal record, and was willing to cooperate with the investigation. The State opposed bail, arguing the seriousness of the offences. The Court, after considering the petitioner’s clean antecedent and lack of material evidence against him, ordered his release on bail subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and conditions under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner under Sections 317(2) and 111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- Whether the material on record justifies denial of bail.
