Disposed Off

Holding

Anticipatory bail is granted to the applicants subject to a personal bond of Rs.30,000 each with sureties and the condition to attend the police station as required.

Summary

The applicants, three individuals, were implicated in a case registered as Crime No.1015 of 2024 under Sections 409, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120‑B of the Indian Penal Code. They filed an anticipatory bail application before the Bombay High Court. The State counsel submitted a summary report against them. The Court examined whether the applicants were entitled to anticipatory bail and, if so, under what conditions. It held that anticipatory bail could be granted, subject to the execution of a personal bond of Rs.30,000 each with one or two sureties of equal amount and a direction to cooperate with the police. The order also required the applicants to appear before the police station whenever required. The application was allowed and disposed of on these terms.

Issues considered

  • Whether the applicants are entitled to anticipatory bail under the circumstances of the case
