Holding
The Court denied regular bail to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Om Prakash Yadav, applied for regular bail in a case registered under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 109(1), 103(1) and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, alleging that he was involved in a land‑dispute‑related scuffle during which he allegedly assaulted the informant’s family and, according to the prosecution, ran over the informant’s daughter with a tractor causing her death. The petitioner claimed innocence, clean antecedents and that the incident was a mutual fight. The State and the informant opposed bail, emphasizing the specific accusation of causing death and the gravity of the offences. The Court, after hearing counsel, found the nature and seriousness of the accusations warranted denial of bail. Consequently, the bail application was rejected and the trial court was directed to expedite the trial within one year.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted to the petitioner accused of offences under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 109(1), 103(1) and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita given the alleged killing of the informant’s daughter.
- Whether the seriousness of the alleged offences justifies denial of bail despite the petitioner’s claim of clean antecedents.
