HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 10290 of 2026 Court No. - 71 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J. 1. Heard Learned counsel for the applicant; and Learned A.G.A. for the State. 2. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant in Case Crime No.209 of 2026, under Sections 191(2), 115(2), 109, 351(3), 333, 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, Police Station Kasganj, District Kasganj, with a prayer to enlarge her on anticipatory bail, as the applicant apprehends her arrest in the aforesaid case. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant is an old woman aged about sixty-nine years. A general role has been assigned to the applicant of using lathis and sticks to assault the injured who are two in number. The injured have not received any injury which can be categorized to be dangerous to life. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. The co-accused Rukma Devi has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court in NABAIL No.8452 of 2026. The case of the applicants stands on a similar footing. 4. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the factual submissions made by the Learned counsel for the applicant. 5. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties. 6. Six persons have been named in the FIR. A perusal of the injury report Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Avadh Raj Sharma, Rahul Sharma Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Yadavati .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) of the injured Padma Verma indicates that she has suffered two visible injuries and similarly injured Sridevi has also suffered two visible injuries. None of the injuries have been opined to be dangerous to life or grievous in nature. From the number of injuries received by the injured and the number of accused nominated in the FIR, in the prima facie opinion of the Court, false implication cannot be ruled out. There appears to be some dispute amongst family members where the applicant is stated to be the step mother of the informant. Similarly situated co-accused Rukma Devi has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court. 7. Taking into consideration the entire facts and circumstances of the case, as discussed above, I deem it appropriate to enlarge the applicant on anticipatory bail. 8. The anticipatory bail application of the applicant is allowed. 9. In the event of the arrest of the applicant- Yadavati, involved in the aforesaid case crime, she shall be released on anticipatory bail, on her furnishing a personal bond and surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court concerned, with the following conditions:- i. The applicant shall make herself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; ii. 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 facts to the Court or to any police officer; iii. The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court; iv. The applicant shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witness; 10. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the Court concerned shall be at liberty to cancel the bail. 11. It is made clear that observations made hereinabove are exclusively NABAIL No. 10290 of 2026 2 for deciding the instant anticipatory bail application and are not to be considered to be an opinion on the merits of the case.
