Holding
The court granted anticipatory bail with a condition that the applicant apply for regular bail within four weeks and stayed all non‑bailable warrants during that period.
Summary
The applicant, Taiyab, filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the CrPC in a case (Crime No.69 of 2018) filed under Sections 3, 5 and 8 of the U.P. Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, fearing arrest. The applicant sought interim protection to appear before the Sessions Court and apply for regular bail, while the State raised no objection. The High Court allowed the prayer, directing that the applicant must appear before the concerned court within four weeks and file a regular bail application, which will be decided expeditiously and without prejudice to any earlier observations of the Sessions Court. The Court also stayed the execution of all non‑bailable warrants issued against the applicant for a period of four weeks. The anticipatory bail application was therefore granted with the stipulated conditions.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail can be granted in a case under the U.P. Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act.
- Whether the execution of non‑bailable warrants should be stayed pending regular bail application.
- Whether the anticipatory bail can be conditioned on the applicant applying for regular bail within a specified period.
