Anticipatory bail was denied as the nature of injury and prior criminal antecedents warranted refusal.

Summary

The petition sought protection from arrest under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 109(1), 303(2) and 352 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The court examined the seriousness of the alleged assault, the severity of the injuries, and the petitioner’s criminal history. Considering these factors, the court found that the criteria for granting anticipatory bail were not met. Consequently, the application for anticipatory bail was rejected.
