Holding
The court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner on the basis of police exoneration and lack of criminal antecedent.
Summary
Anmol Das applied for anticipatory bail fearing arrest in PS Srinagar Case No.86 of 2024, which alleged offences under IPC sections 147, 148, 149, 307 and Arms Act sections 25(9) and 27. The petitioner claimed he was falsely implicated, asserted that the police investigation had exonerated him and that he had no prior criminal record. The learned counsel for the State opposed the bail. The court, noting the police exoneration and the petitioner’s clean antecedent, allowed the bail application. Accordingly, the petitioner was directed to appear before the Judicial Magistrate within four weeks and to furnish a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to the conditions of Section 438(2) CrPC and Section 482 CrPC.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted under Section 438 CrPC in view of the petitioner’s alleged exoneration by police.
- Whether the seriousness of the offences alleged under IPC and the Arms Act precludes the grant of bail.
