Holding
Anticipatory bail was denied as the offences were serious and the petitioner had prior convictions.
Summary
Manjit Yadav applied for anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case registered under multiple serious offences, including sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Arms Act. The prosecution alleged that he shot the victim and highlighted his two prior criminal convictions. The court examined the nature and gravity of the alleged offences and the petitioner’s criminal antecedents.
