Holding
Anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
Summary
The petitioner, Radhe Krishna Raman, sought anticipatory bail in a case (Ghosi P.S. Case No.424 of 2024) where he was alleged to have assaulted a family with a pistol, stolen jewellery and cash, and violated several sections of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and the Arms Act. The prosecution’s informant claimed the petitioner and a co‑accused surrounded and attacked her family, causing injuries and theft. The petitioner contended that he was falsely implicated, that the injuries were not caused by gunfire, and highlighted his clean antecedent, offering cooperation with the investigation. The State opposed the bail. The court, after considering the nature of the allegations, the petitioner’s clean record, and the circumstances, granted anticipatory bail subject to a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S., 2023.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriateness of granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner given the nature of the allegations under the B.N.S., 2023 and the Arms Act?
- Whether the petitioner’s clean antecedent and the claim of false FIR justify bail despite serious charges?
