Anticipatory Bail Application U/S 482 BNSS No.509 of 2025 on the basis of incorrect facts that applicant was caught red handed while taking examination impersonating the actual examinee whereas perusal of F.I.R. shows that applicant was not even present on the examination centre. Applicant has no criminal history. Nothing has been recovered from the applicant. Perused the record. A perusal of the record shows that co-accused Awadh Bihari Pandey who was caught on the spot along with identity-cards of the applicant has stated that he was giving exam in place of Ramesh Saroj, the present applicant hence, there is no reason for this Court to believe the fact that applicant has been falsely implicated or has been implicated only to injure his reputation, prima facie the complicity of the applicant is evident, no case for anticipatory bail is made out. The anticipatory bail application is rejected. Order Date :- 1.8.2025 Saurabh Yadav/- Digitally signed by :- SAURABH YADAV High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
