Holding
The court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to bond and surety conditions.
Summary
Ravi Mukhiya was arrested in connection with a case alleging he assaulted an informant with a stick during a property dispute over a sale deed. The petitioner claimed innocence, arguing the injury was minor and inconsistent with the prosecution's claim, and highlighted his clean criminal record. The State opposed his bail, citing multiple serious charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The court examined the injury report, the nature of the alleged assault, and the lack of prior convictions. It granted anticipatory bail, subject to a cash bond and sureties, and conditioned the release on compliance with Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
- Whether the alleged assault and related charges constitute a non-bailable offence justifying denial of bail

persons including the petitioner and the petitioner is said to have
assaulted with farsa on the head of the informant due to which she
sustained injury. It is further submitted that from perusal of the
injury report, it appears that one lacerated wound on temporal
region of size 3’’x 1/3’’ x ¼’’ was found which is simple in nature
caused by hard and blunt substance which does not support the
case of the prosecution. Lastly, it has been submitted that the
petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
5. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the
petitioner.
6. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the
case and submissions of learned counsel for the parties, in the
