Decided
Disposal
BAIL GRANTED

Holding

The Court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners subject to the conditions prescribed under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.

Summary

The petitioners, Julfequar Ali, Arbaj Sai and Danish Sai, sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case registered under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109, 352, 74 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. They contended that they have clean antecedents and are falsely implicated by an informant with whom they have a land dispute, alleging that the injuries reported were minor. The State opposed the grant of anticipatory bail, arguing the seriousness of the offences. The Court examined the submissions, the nature of the alleged injuries, and the background dispute, and found no compelling reason to deny bail. Consequently, the Court ordered that, upon arrest or surrender within six weeks, the petitioners be released on anticipatory bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.

Issues considered

  • Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioners under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in view of the alleged offences and the factual background.

                                       ORAL ORDER

4   04-02-2026               1.    Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                             2.    The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2),

                   115(2), 118(1), 109, 352, 74 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya

                   Sanhita.

                             3.    Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

                   petitioners are persons with clean antecedent and the informant

                   alleges that on 19-5-2025 at 6 pm, informant was talking with

                   his family members on his varandah, when the accused persons

                   including the petitioners came variously armed and petitioner

                                            2/3




          no. 1 assaulted informant’s son, Arman, by rod causing injury

          on head, thereafter petitioner no. 2 assaulted informant by rod

          causing injury on head and petitioner no. 3 assaulted the

          informant’s son, Farman, on head and thereafter petitioner no. 1

          acted inappropriately with informant’s wife and pushed her on

          the ground.

                   4.       Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

          petitioners have been falsely implicated in the instant case by

          the informant. It is next submitted that from side of the

          petitioners Hussainganj PS case No. 181 of 2025 has been

          instituted against the informant and his side, as such the instant

          FIR     is    a    counter-blast.       It   is   further   submitted   that

          supplementary injury report of the injured has been received and

          from perusal of the same, it would manifest that injury of

          Farman, Arman and Mursad has been opined to be simple in

          nature, which amply demonstrates that petitioners never had any

          intention of committing a serious occurrence. It is also

          submitted that petitioners and the informant are pattidar and are

          having dispute relating to land for which litigation is going on.

          It is submitted that petitioners are not criminals.

                   5.       Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioners.

                                 6.     Considering the submissions made by the learned

                        counsel for the petitioners, the petitioners above-named, in the

                        event of their arrest or surrender before the learned trial court
