Holding
The Court dismissed the anticipatory bail application, holding that the case was not fit for such relief.
Summary
The petitioner, Md. Allauddin, sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a 2016 case (PS No. 158) filed under Sections 401, 413, 414, 467 and 468 of the Indian Penal Code for alleged theft and related offences. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner committed theft after conducting reconnaissance, and a self‑inculpatory statement of another accused named the petitioner. The petitioner’s counsel argued innocence despite a prior criminal antecedent, while the State opposed bail on the basis of the incriminating statement. The Court held that the presence of a self‑inculpatory statement made the case unsuitable for anticipatory bail. Consequently, the application for anticipatory bail was dismissed and the petitioner was directed to surrender within four weeks to seek regular bail, failing which the police would arrest him.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted when a self‑inculpatory statement of another accused implicates the petitioner
- Whether the allegations under Sections 401, 413, 414, 467 and 468 IPC justify denial of anticipatory bail

- anticipatory bail
