Holding
Anticipatory bail is granted as the petitioner is likely to be arrested and there is no sufficient ground to deny bail under the applicable provisions.
Summary
The petitioner, Karamveer, sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case registered under multiple sections of the B.N.S. for alleged assault on Sitaram Yadav. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner assaulted the victim, while the petitioner claimed innocence, asserting that the victim sustained no injury and that he has a clean antecedent. The learned counsel for the State opposed the bail, arguing that the charges warranted detention. The Court examined the applicability of Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and Section 482 of the B.N.S. regarding anticipatory bail. Considering the facts and the petitioner's claim of false implication, the Court allowed the anticipatory bail application. The bail was conditioned on a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and compliance with the stipulated conditions.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner under Section 438 of the CrPC
- Whether the High Court has jurisdiction to grant bail under Section 482 of the B.N.S.
- Whether the allegations against the petitioner constitute a ground to deny anticipatory bail
