Holding
Anticipatory bail was not granted to the petitioner.
Summary
Anand Kumar applied for anticipatory bail after being implicated in a motorcycle theft case (Jandaha PS Case No. 270 of 2025) under Sections 303(2), 317(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The petitioner claimed a clean record, but the recovered motorcycle and statements of three apprehended suspects linked him to the crime. The court examined the nature and gravity of the alleged offences and the possibility of the petitioner fleeing. Considering these factors, the court declined to grant anticipatory bail. The order also clarified that the observations were limited to this application and would not prejudice later proceedings.
