The petitioners are entitled to regular bail and the court ordered their release on bail.
Summary
The petitioners, Janul Ansari and Intaj Ansari, were arrested in connection with a case alleging they assaulted an informant and his relatives. They filed an application for regular bail under several sections of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023, claiming false implication and a lack of criminal antecedent. The prosecution’s FIR was described as general and omnibus, and there was a counter‑case between the parties. The petitioners had been in custody for over four months since 12‑Oct‑2025, and a charge sheet had already been filed. Considering the absence of prior convictions, the filing of the charge sheet, and the prolonged detention, the court ordered bail on a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties for each petitioner.
