Court No. - 71
                 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J.

1. Heard, Learned counsel for the applicant, the Learned A.G.A. for the
State and perused the record.

2. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed on behalf of the
applicant in Case Crime No.178 of 2026, under Sections 109, 115(2), 333,
352 BNS, Police Station- Chandauli, District Chandauli, with a prayer to
enlarge him on anticipatory bail as the applicant apprehends his arrest in
the above-mentioned case.

3. It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant
has been falsely implicated in the present case. The incident in question is
said to have occurred on 21.04.2026 but the FIR was lodged belatedly on
22.04.2026, with the allegation that four accused have assaulted the
informant and his family members It is contended that there is cross
version of the FIR and cross case, wherein two injured from the side of
the accused applicant and one injured from the side of the informant, both
are related. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. It is further
contended that similarly situated co-accused Pramod Yadav and Pyare
Yadav have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court on 14.07.2026 in
NABAIL No.6529 of 2026 and case of applicant of applicant stands on
similar footing to that of co-accused. The applicant undertakes that he will
cooperate in the investigation and will not violate conditions of the
anticipatory bail.
                                                      NABAIL No. 9606 of 2026
                               2


4. Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the
applicants.

5. The scope of ambit of anticipatory bail is encapsulated in three
insightful judgments of Hon'ble Supreme Court right from Gurubaksh
Singh Sibbia Vs. State of Punjab reported in (1980) 2 SCC 565,
Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre Vs. State of Maharashtra reported in
(2011) 1 SCC 694 and Sushila Aggarwal and others Vs. State (NCT of
Delhi) and another reported in (2020) 5 SCC 1, wherein it is consistently
held by Hon'ble Apex Court that while granting anticipatory bail, the
Court should consider the application of the applicant to evaluate the
threat or apprehension of arrest vis-a-vis the nature and gravity of
accusation, criminal antecedent of the accused, false or exaggerated
implication, need of custodial interrogation, willingness of the accused to
cooperate in investigation and trial and the conduct of the accused and
flight risk.

6. Taking note of the fact that there is cross version of the FIR and cross
fight between the parties, gravity of accusation, criminal antecedents and
apprehension of arrest in the case vis-a-vis low flight risk and assurance
of the accused in cooperating with the investigation and trial and the fact
that similarly situated co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail by
this Court, I deem it appropriate to enlarge the applicant on anticipatory
bail.

7. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
case, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant is allowed.

8. In the event of the arrest of the applicant Ghoore @ Ashirvad, he shall
be released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime on anticipatory bail on
furnishing a personal bond and surety each in the like amount to the
satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court
concerned with the following conditions:-

i. the applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police
officer as and when required;

ii. that the applicant shall not, directly or indirectly make any inducement,
                                                                                          NABAIL No. 9606 of 2026
                                                                   3


                                    threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as
                                    to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police
                                    officer;

                                    iii. that the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission
                                    of the Court;

                                    iv. that the applicant shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution
                                    witness;

                                    9. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the Court concerned
                                    shall be at liberty to cancel the bail.

                                    10. It is made clear that observations made hereinabove are exclusively
                                    for deciding the instant anticipatory bail application and are not to be
                                    considered to be an opinion on the merits of the case.



                                                                                      (Rajiv Lochan Shukla,J.)
