Holding
The Court granted regular bail to the petitioners, directing them to furnish bail bonds and sureties.
Summary
The petitioners, four residents of Bara Auraiya, filed a regular bail application in a case registered under multiple sections of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. They argued that the FIR specifically alleged the assault on the informant's father by a co-accused, Sohail Alam, and that no specific role was attributed to them, presenting only general and omnibus allegations. The petitioners also highlighted their clean antecedent and that they had been in custody since 20 June 2025. The State opposed the bail, contending the seriousness of the charges. Considering the lack of specific incriminating allegations against the petitioners and their clean record, the Court granted regular bail on the condition of furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000 each with two sureties of equal amount.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted when the FIR contains only general and omnibus allegations against the accused
- Whether the absence of a specific allegation against the petitioners warrants bail despite the seriousness of the charges
