Holding
The court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner under Section 482 of the B.N.S.S.
Summary
Manoj Kumar Singh sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case (Aayar P.S. Case No. 83 of 2025) that alleged offences under several sections of the B.N.S. The prosecution’s informant claimed that Singh’s household members assaulted him with iron rods and sticks after a dispute over a complaint by a village woman. Singh contended that the allegations were fabricated due to village politics and that the injuries reported were minor. The State opposed the bail, but the court, noting the possibility of false accusation and the simple nature of the injuries, decided to grant anticipatory bail. The order directed that Singh be released on bail if arrested or surrendered within four weeks, subject to a Rs 10,000 bond, two sureties, and the condition that one bailor be a close relative. The bail was granted under Section 482 of the B.N.S.S. with standard conditions.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to anticipatory bail in view of the alleged false accusations and political motive.
- Whether the nature of the alleged offences and the evidence presented justify denial of bail.

causing a deep head injury and profuse bleeding. Accused
Nandan Singh lifted the informant and threw him to the ground.
Vinod Singh and Nirmal Singh further assaulted the informant
with sticks, causing multiple injuries.

such occurrence has occurred as alleged in the F.I.R. There is
case and counter case between both the parties and as per F.I.R.,
three persons have assaulted the informant however the injury
report of injured persons reflects that all the injuries sustained
by him are simple in nature

inclined to extend him the privilege of anticipatory bail.
