Holding
The court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Sudhir Yadav, sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case registered under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 352, 351(2), 109(1) and 3(5) of the B.N.S. The prosecution alleged that on 15 October 2025 the accused, including the petitioner, assaulted an informant and his family with weapons. The petitioner contended he was innocent and that the FIR only made a general, omnibus accusation against him, with the injuries described as simple. The State opposed the bail. Considering the general nature of the accusation and the minor injuries, the court allowed anticipatory bail, directing the petitioner to furnish a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted when the accusation against the petitioner is of a general and omnibus nature.
- Whether the nature and severity of alleged injuries justify denial of anticipatory bail.
