Holding
Anticipatory bail was denied as the petitioner was found to be the person who inflicted the knife injury.
Summary
The petitioner, Hridyanand Singh, sought anticipatory bail after being implicated in a case (Sanjhauli P.S. Case No. 145 of 2025) for alleged offences under Sections 126(2), 109(1), 352, 351(2) and 3(5) of the B.N.S. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner stabbed the informant’s son with a knife, causing serious injury. The petitioner’s counsel argued his innocence, but the State relied on the FIR which directly implicated him in the assault. The court examined the FIR and found sufficient material to conclude that the petitioner was indeed the assailant. Consequently, the court held that no grounds existed to grant anticipatory bail. The anticipatory bail application was therefore rejected.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to anticipatory bail in view of the allegations under Sections 126(2), 109(1), 352, 351(2) and 3(5) of the B.N.S.
