Holding
The Court held that the petitioner is entitled to anticipatory bail under Section 438(2) CrPC and Section 482 BNSS, subject to a bail bond and sureties.
Summary
The petitioner, Dinesh Singh, a 60‑year‑old resident of Warshi village, filed an anticipatory bail application fearing arrest in connection with PS Tarari Case No. 21 of 2026, which alleges offences under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 109, 74, 352, 351(2) and 3(5) of the BNSS for assaulting a victim. The prosecution contended that the petitioner and co‑accused had assaulted the victim, while the petitioner maintained his innocence and argued that he had been falsely implicated, noting that a co‑accused, Rohit Kumar, had already been granted bail. The learned counsel for the petitioner sought release on bail pending trial, invoking Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and Section 482 of the BNSS. The Court examined the petitioner's apprehension of arrest, his age, and the lack of any material suggesting a flight risk. Finding no sufficient ground to deny bail, the Court allowed the application, directing that the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs 10,000 with two sureties of equal amount, subject to the conditions of the cited statutes.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to anticipatory bail under Section 438(2) of the CrPC in the present case
- Whether the conditions of Section 482 of the BNSS justify the grant of bail
