Holding
The Court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners, subject to a bail bond and sureties.
Summary
The petitioners, a group of seven individuals from Rohtas district, applied for anticipatory bail fearing arrest in connection with FIR No. 131 of 2025, which alleged assault on an informant and the theft of Rs. 5,500. The prosecution charged them under Sections 191(2), 190, 109, 118(1), 303(2), 351(2) and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The petitioners contended they were falsely implicated and that the informant’s injury was simple, also highlighting their clean or minimal criminal antecedents. The State opposed the bail, arguing the seriousness of the offences. The Court, noting the minor nature of the injury and the petitioners’ backgrounds, granted anticipatory bail subject to a bail bond of Rs. 10,000 and two sureties, invoking Section 438(2) of the CrPC and Section 482 of the BNSS. The order directed that the bail be effected if the petitioners are arrested or surrender within four weeks.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioners accused of offences under Sections 191(2), 190, 109, 118(1), 303(2), 351(2) and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- Whether the nature of the alleged injury and the petitioners' criminal antecedents justify denial of anticipatory bail.
