Holding
The Court ordered the release of the petitioner on pre‑arrest bail subject to specified conditions.
Summary
The petitioner, Md. Jakir Nadaf, was charged under IPC sections 147, 323, 307, 354A, 504 and 506/34 for allegedly assaulting an informant and her family with lathi‑danda with an intention to kill. The petitioner applied for pre‑arrest bail, arguing that the injuries inflicted were simple in nature. The State opposed the bail, citing the seriousness of the offences. The Court, after considering the submissions and the nature of the injuries, granted pre‑arrest bail subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, a four‑week surrender period, and verification of the petitioner’s criminal antecedents. The order is conditioned on Section 482(2) of the BNSS 2023 and will lapse if antecedents are found.
