Holding
The Court granted bail to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Hasan Ansari, was arrested in connection with Bahadurganj Police Station Case No.143 of 2011, which alleged offences under Sections 365, 366, 372 and 498/34 of the Indian Penal Code relating to the alleged abduction of a complainant’s wife by Md. Mojib. The petitioner contended that he is innocent, has no criminal antecedent, and was framed because he is an agnate of Md. Mojib, who has since fled. He has been in judicial custody since 15 September 2025 and sought bail, while the State opposed the application. After hearing both sides, the Court considered the nature of the allegations, the petitioner’s lack of prior record, and the fact that the principal accused had absconded. The Court concluded that the circumstances warranted the grant of bail. Accordingly, the petitioner was ordered to be released on a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of the same amount.
