This application has been filed seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime No.254 of 2024, under Section 108 B.N.S., Police Station Bharthana, District Etawah. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. The deceased was married to co-accused Krishna in February, 2023. As per the allegations in the first information report, the necessary ingredients to constitute the offence under Section 108 B.N.S. are not made out. The applicant, in no manner, abetted the commission of suicide by the deceased. Learned counsel for the applicant has placed reliance on the judgement of the Apex Court in the case of Jayedeepsinh Pravinsinh Chavda & ors. v. State of Gujarat, S.L.P. (Crl.) No. 7957 of 2024, dated 10.12.2024. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. Identically placed co-accused Pradeep Kumar @ Hajaree Lal has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court, vide order dated 22.1.2025, passed in Criminal Misc. Anticipatory Bail Application No.214 of 2025. It is next submitted that the investigation is going on and the applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. 5. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 6. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for
the applicant, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicant, and, in particular, the fact that as per the allegations in the first information report, the necessary ingredients to constitute the offence under Section 108 B.N.S. are not made out, identically placed co-accused Pradeep Kumar @ Hajaree Lal has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail. 7.
7. In the event of arrest, the applicant-Vimal Kumar Minor, involved in the aforesaid case crime, be released on anticipatory bail during pendency of trial, on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall co-operate with the Investigating Officer during investigation and shall report to the Investigating Officer as and when required for the purpose of conducting investigation; (ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the
