The applicants have preferred this First Bail Application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of anticipatory bail, as they are apprehending their arrest in connection with Crime No. 181/2025, registered at Police Station – Chirmiri, District – Mandendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur (C.G.) for the VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Digitally signed by VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Date: 2025.12.08 11:01:33 +0530 2 offence punishable under Sections 108 read with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS). 2. The case of the prosecution, is that the son of deceased namely Ashish Rao has taken the loan from the daughter of present applicant sum of Rs.9,50,000/- for purchasing the four wheeler and the said amount was returned by the son of deceased but thereafter the present applicants and their daughter demanded additional amount, due to which the father of Ashish Rao and Shayama Rao committed suicide by hanging himself. Thereafter FIR has been registered against the present applicants. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicants that the applicants are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this case. He also submits that the applicants happens to be the parents of the co-accused, who is the main accused person in the present case, who has already been granted bail by the trial Court. Moreover, the applicant No.1 is lady, and if she will be arrested by the Police, the reputation of the applicants will be destroyed, therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicants. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel as well as learned counsel for the Objector would opposes the bail application and submits that deceased committed suicide by hanging on account of the harassment and demand of money made by the accused persons, therefore, the applicant is not entitled for grant of anticipatory bail in this case. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the documents available on record. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, 3 nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and the fact that co-accused has also been enlarged on bail by the trial Court, at this stage without commenting anything on merits, this Court is of the view that the applicants are entitled to be granted anticipatory bail in this case. 7. Accordingly, the instant MCRCA is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicants – B. Minakshi Rao and B. Kartik Rao on executing a personal bond with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting Officer, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (a) The Applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such fact to the Court.
