HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 6785 of 2025 Court No. - 69 HON'BLE VIVEK VARMA, J. 1. Second supplementary affidavit filed by the counsel for the applicant, is taken on record. 2. Heard counsel for the applicant as well as Sri Neeraj Kumar Sharma, learned AGA for the State and perused the material on record. 3. The present application has been filed with the prayer to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant in Case Crime No. 274 of 2025, under sections 303(2) 317(2) BNS, Police Station Partapur, District-Meerut. 4. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. Criminal history of the applicant has been explained in para 2 of the second supplementary affidavit. The applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. 5. Per contra, learned A.G.A opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and 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. 6. I have considered the rival submissions raised by learned counsel for the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Mukesh Chandra Gupta, Shubham Prakash Gupta Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Saddam Hussain .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) 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.
