Amredra Tiwari @ Amrendra TripathiversusThe State of Bihar

Decided
Disposal
BAIL REJECTED

Holding

The court refused to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Summary

The petitioners, Amredra Tiwari and Ravindra Tiwari, were implicated in a FIR (Case No. 245 of 2022) alleging violent assault with lathis and firearms, including the alleged assault of a pregnant woman resulting in a miscarriage. They applied for anticipatory bail, claiming innocence, lack of criminal antecedent, and a two‑day delay in filing the FIR. The State opposed the bail, emphasizing the seriousness of the offences listed under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 324, 307, 427, 504 and 506 of the IPC. The court examined the injury reports and medical opinion confirming a missed abortion, and considered the gravity of the allegations. Concluding that the allegations were serious and the petitioners were likely to tamper with evidence or influence witnesses, the court declined to grant anticipatory bail. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was rejected.

Issues considered

  • Whether anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC should be granted to the petitioners given the seriousness of the alleged offences under the IPC.

3   22-04-2026                        Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection

                   with Govindganj P.S. Case No. 245 of 2022, registered for the

                   offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 324,

                   307, 427, 504 and 506 of IPC.

                                3. The case of the prosecution, in short, as per the

                   informant is that on 24.05.2022 at about 3:00 P.M. when his

                   building work was under progress, all the accused persons

                   named in the F.I.R. including these petitioners having armed

                   with lathi and farsa came there to stop the work of construction.

          On protest of the informant, co-accused Suresh Tiwari gave an

          order to demolish the house then all accused persons started

          demolishing the house and they also attacked upon him. It is

          further alleged that when Amit Kumar, Chanda Devi, Nainmati

          Kuar, Shivani Kumari and Shivam Kumari came to save the

          informant, all the accused persons also attacked them. The

          accused persons assaulted the informant and Amit Kumar with

          farsa, due to which they sustained injury on their heads. The

          petitioner Amrendra Tiwari dashed Chanda Devi by her hair and

          petitioner Ravindra Tiwari @ Saurabh Tiwari assaulted on her

          stomach, due to which she suffered miscarriage.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

          petitioners are innocent and have not committed any offence.

          They have falsely been implicated in the present case. There is

          case and counter case. There is a delay of two days in filing the

          FIR. He further submits that the petitioners have no criminal

          antecedent.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer of

          anticipatory bail.

                       6. There is allegation against Amrendra Tiwari

          (petitioner no. 1) that he dashed the informant’s wife Chanda

          Devi and Ravindra Tiwari (petitioner no. 2) assaulted on her

                        stomach due to which she sustained miscarriage. As per the

                        injury report of Chanda Devi, she was pregnant at the time of

                        injury and as per Gynecologist report, doctor opinion suggests

                        missed abortion. Considering the seriousness of the allegation

                        levelled against the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to

                        grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

                                     7.   Accordingly,          the   present   anticipatory   bail

                        application stands rejected.
