Holding
The court held that anticipatory bail could not be granted and rejected the petition.
Summary
The petitioners, Sujeet Kumar, Anil Ram and Tinku Ram, were accused of offences under Sections 126(2), 127(2), 109(1) and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, based on an allegation that they, along with co‑accused Santosh Ram, tied and set fire to the informant’s sister. The informant claimed the act was motivated by the sister’s opposition to her husband’s extra‑marital affair. The petitioners filed an application for anticipatory bail fearing arrest. The court examined the seriousness of the allegations and the nature of the offences. Considering the gravity of the accusations, the court rejected the petition for anticipatory bail.
