The Court held that anticipatory bail could not be granted and dismissed the application.
Summary
Petitioner Raj Kumar Rai sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case (P.S. Case No. 67 of 2024) involving serious offences under Sections 147, 148, 149, 452, 380, 302, 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The prosecution alleges that the petitioner, along with others, participated in the killing of the deceased. The petitioner, represented by Mr. Vijay Kumar, maintained his innocence and argued that he had not committed any offence. The State, represented by Mr. Anant Kumar, opposed the bail application.
