Holding
The Court granted regular bail to the petitioner, directing him to furnish a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties.
Summary
The petitioner, Anish Thakur, sought regular bail in a case registered under Sections 341, 323, 324, 307, 147, 148, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner assaulted the informant with a sharp cutting weapon, causing a lacerated wound on the scalp. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the medical report indicated the injury was caused by a hard, blunt object, creating a discrepancy with the charge, and highlighted the petitioner’s clean record and custody since 29‑01‑2026. The State opposed the bail application. After hearing both sides, the Court found merit in the inconsistency and the lack of prior criminal history, and ordered the petitioner to be released on bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to regular bail despite the serious offences alleged under the IPC.
- Whether the inconsistency between the alleged weapon and the medical injury report warrants bail.
