NARESHBHAI BHAVUBHAI VALANIYAversusANILBHAI RAMESHBHAI VASOYA
- Disposal
- 38-RULE ABSOLUTE/ALLOWED @ FH
Holding
The anticipatory bail granted to the accused is cancelled.
Summary
The applicant, Nareshbhai Valaniya, filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 483(3) of the BNSS, 2023 seeking cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to Anilbhai Vasoya. The coordinate bench had earlier granted bail on the condition that Vasoya deposit Rs.15,00,000 in five equal monthly installments, which he partially complied with, depositing only Rs.7,50,000 and failing to appear before the court despite notice. The applicant alleged breach of the bail condition and a further offense committed by the accused. The court held that the breach of the financial undertaking and non‑appearance justified cancellation of the bail. Consequently, the anticipatory bail was cancelled and the investigating officer was directed to arrest the accused.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail can be cancelled for breach of the condition to deposit a specified sum within a stipulated period.
- Whether failure to appear before the court despite service of notice warrants cancellation of anticipatory bail.
- Whether the court has jurisdiction to cancel anticipatory bail under Section 483(3) of the BNSS, 2023.

2. Heard learned advocate Mr. Nishith Acharya for the
applicant and learned APP Mr. Tirthraj Pandya for the
respondent No.2-State. The respondent no.1 accused-
Anilbhai Rameshbhai Vasoya was initially served the
notice. However, he had not remained present, and as
such, this Court had given one more opportunity to him to
remain present. However, on the day, when the matter
came up for hearing also, respondent no. 1 accused did
not remain present before the court.
3. At the outset, the respondent no. 2 – Anilbhai
Rameshbhai Vasoya was granted anticipatory bail by the
co-ordinate bench of this court, vide order passed in
Criminal Misc. Application No. 15331 of 2024 on
10.09.2024. The co-ordinate bench in its order had
mentioned that, the applicant therein – respondent no. 1
herein, was ready and willing to deposit Rs. 15 lakhs in
five equal monthly installments within five months, from
the date of his release, pursuant to which, the Court had
considered the said submission and had released the
Page 2 of 5
R/CR.MA/16006/2025 CAV ORDER DATED: 04/05/2026
respondent no. 1 herein on anticipatory bail, by executing
a personal bond of Rs.10,000/- with one surety of like
amount, subject to conditions wherein, condition no. (g)
reads as below:
“(g) shall file an undertaking before
learned Trial Court that he shall pay sum
of Rs.15,00,000/- within a period of 5
months from the date of his release in five
equal monthly installments.”
4. As submitted by learned advocate Mr. Acharya, the
respondent no. 1 herein, had not complied with the said
condition, and had thereby committed breach of the
same. The applicant has filed the present application on
oath and thereafter, by way of additional affidavit dated
27.01.2026, has stated that the respondent no.1 accused
in spite of having made a statement through his learned
advocate before the coordinate bench during the hearing
of Criminal Misc. Application No.15221 of 2024, and
thereafter, having submitted an undertaking before the
concerned Trial Court as regards depositing Rs.15 lakhs
in five monthly installments within five months from the
Page 3 of 5
R/CR.MA/16006/2025 CAV ORDER DATED: 04/05/2026
date of his release, however, had only deposited
Rs.7,50,000/- at the end of five months, and till date, he
has not deposited the remaining amount. Mr.Acharya has
also submitted that, the respondent no.1 accused has
committed one more offense, after being released on
anticipatory bail in this case.
5. Thus, considering the fact that, the respondent no. 1
accused though having given an undertaking to deposit
Rs.15 lakhs in five equal monthly installments, from the
date of his release, having only deposited Rs.7,50,000/-
till date, and not having deposited the remaining amount,
he having committed breach of the bail condition, and
also not having remained present before this court inspite
of notice having been served, this appears to be a fit case
to cancel his anticipatory bail, which was granted by
virtue of order passed in Criminal Misc. Application No.
15331 of 2024 on 10.09.2024, which came to be modified
on 13.09.2024.
6. In the event, the present application is allowed. The
Page 4 of 5
R/CR.MA/16006/2025 CAV ORDER DATED: 04/05/2026
anticipatory bail granted to the respondent no. 1 accused
by the coordinate bench vide order passed in Criminal
Misc. Application No. 15331 of 2024 on 10.09.2024,
which was modified by way of order dated 13.09.2024, is
hereby cancelled. Consequently, the Investigating Officer
of Amroli Police Station, Surat who had investigated the
offence registered vide FIR No.11210004241374 of 2024,
is directed to immediately arrest the accused in
accordance with law. Rule is made absolute accordingly.
