Holding
The Court granted provisional anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to prescribed bond and conditions under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.
Summary
The petitioner, a 21‑year‑old woman with a clean record, was implicated in an assault case arising from a dispute in which the informant's grandson allegedly defecated at her door, leading to mutual abuse and the petitioner allegedly striking the informant's daughter with a hammer. The petitioner claimed she was falsely implicated and that both parties had assaulted each other. She applied for anticipatory bail, arguing that the case was based on a prior personal dispute. The State opposed the bail. The Court, after considering the submissions, granted provisional anticipatory bail subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and conditions under Section 482(2) of the BNSS, to be complied with if she is arrested or surrenders within six weeks.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to anticipatory bail under Section 482(2) of the BNSS in view of the alleged assault and the circumstances of the dispute.
