Holding
Anticipatory bail was granted to the petitioners subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.
Summary
The petitioners, six residents of Akabarpur village, applied for anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case registered under multiple sections of the B.N.S. relating to offences such as unlawful assembly, rioting, and assault. They alleged that the FIR, based on an informant's account, falsely implicated them and did not specifically allege any assault by them, asserting they have clean antecedents. The State opposed the bail, arguing the seriousness of the alleged offences. The Court examined the allegations, noting the lack of specific charges against the petitioners and the possibility of mutual assault during the procession. Considering the petitioners' claim of false implication and their willingness to surrender, the Court granted anticipatory bail subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S., requiring bail bonds and sureties. The application was allowed, directing the petitioners to be released on anticipatory bail if arrested within six weeks.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioners under the circumstances of the FIR and alleged false implication.
