Holding
The Court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to a bond and conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
Summary
Petitioner Pawan Tiwari, a retired army personnel, feared arrest in a criminal case (Shahpur P.S. Case No.158/2025) involving multiple offences under the B.N.S., 2023. He alleged that the informant falsely implicated him, claiming a raid on his house on 16 June 2025 where his family allegedly obstructed the armed forces. Tiwari had previously obtained anticipatory bail in a related Nawada case (Cr. Misc. No.61971/2025) on 18 December 2025. He petitioned the Patna High Court for anticipatory bail in the present case, arguing that he was not present at the alleged incident and that the charges were fabricated. The State opposed the relief. The Court, after considering the submissions, granted anticipatory bail subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriateness of granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner in Shahpur P.S. Case No.158/2025 given the alleged false implication and prior bail in a related case?
