Sri Gaurav Kumar Shukla, Advocate has filed Vakalatnama on behalf of the informant. The same is taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, counsel for the informant as well as Sri Neeraj Kumar Sharma, learned AGA for the State. Perused the material on record. 3. This application has been filed seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime No.143 of 2025, under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 115(2), 131, 110 of B.N.S., Police Station- Nagar, District- Basti. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. The applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. 5. Per contra, learned A.G.A. for the State and counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail. Learned A.G.A. submits that the investigation is pending in the matter. A prima facie case is made out. Referring to the provisions of Section 35 of B.N.S.S. it is submitted that since offences levelled in the first information report are punishable up to seven years only, the applicant cannot be arrested. An apprehension of arrest shown in the anticipatory bail is not genuine. Thus prayer has been made for rejection of anticipatory bail. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Akhilesh Kumar Mishra, Rashmi Upadhyay Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Deepak Singh .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) 6. I have considered the rival submissions raised by learned counsel for the parties. 7. In the matter, it is evident from the record that anticipatory bail has been moved for the offences in which the maximum punishment is of seven years. There is a specific provision under Section 35 of B.N.S.S. on point of arrest of the accused relating to the offences punishable up to seven years. Until and unless the mandate given in Section 35 of B.N.S.S. is complied by the Investigating Officer, accused of such offences cannot be arrested. 8. Thus keeping in view of the statutory provisions on point of arrest of the accused, the Court is of the opinion that there is no need of anticipatory bail as the applicant cannot be arrested without complying with the provision given in Section 35 of B.N.S.S. Specific provisions under Section 35 of B.N.S.S. have been provided giving protection to the accused persons from arrest in offences punishable up to seven years punishment. Thus, prayer made in the present application is refused. 9. With the above observations, the present application stands disposed of.
