Decided: 17 February 2026
Disposal: BAIL GRANTED
Bench: PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH

Holding

The court held that bail should be granted to the petitioners subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.

Summary

The petitioners, members of the Yadav family, sought bail fearing arrest in a case registered under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) for alleged assault on an informant’s house. The FIR alleged that the petitioners, along with 40‑50 unknown armed persons, threw stones and bricks, abused the informant, and assaulted his sons. The petitioners contended that the allegations of assault were general, the injuries were simple, and the remaining charges were ornamental, emphasizing their clean antecedent. The State opposed the bail application. Considering the nature of the injuries, the petitioners’ clean antecedent, and other circumstances, the court ordered bail on a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.
