- Decided
- Disposal
- BAIL GRANTED
Holding
The Court held that bail may be granted to the petitioners subject to a bond and conditions under section 482(2) of the BNSS.
Summary
The petitioners, Sita Ram Yadav, Shankar Yadav and Raj Kumar Yadav, filed a bail petition fearing arrest in a case registered under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) for alleged assault and related offences. The FIR alleged that the accused, while intoxicated, assaulted an informant and his family, with a specific allegation against co-accused Raju Yadav for striking the informant's eye with a pistol butt. The petitioners contended they were innocent and the accusations against them were general and omnibus. The State opposed the bail. The Court, after considering the facts and material, ordered that the petitioners be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000 each with two sureties, subject to conditions under section 482(2) of the BNSS, and directed surrender within eight weeks.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioners are entitled to bail under the BNSS despite the seriousness of the offences alleged in the FIR
- Whether the conditions imposed under section 482(2) of the BNSS are sufficient to justify granting bail
