By way of the present application under Section 482 of the BNSS, the applicant-accused has prayed for anticipatory bail in connection with the FIR being C.R. No. 11996006260457 of 2026 registered with Tharad Police Station, District: Vav-Tharad for the offences under Sections 140(3), 64(2)(m), 123, 351(3), 54 of BNS. 3. Learned advocate for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the alleged offence. He has no past antecedents of like nature and custodial interrogation of the applicant is not essential for the purpose of investigation. R/CR.MA/11536/2026 ORDER DATED: 02/06/2026 4. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent – State and Mr. Tushar Chaudhary, learned advocate appearing for and on behalf of original complaint have opposed grant of anticipatory bail stating inter alia that the allegations against the applicant are grave and serious in nature and custodial interrogation is necessary for further investigation of the case. 5. Having heard the learned advocates for the respective parties and perusing the material placed on record and taking into consideration the facts of the case, it appears that, the applicant accused had abetted the principal accused in commission of crime. However, fact remains that the victim aged about 20 yrs was in relation with the accused no. 1 and due to their relations, they performed the marriage at Ahmedabad on 07.03.2026 and thereafter, they remained together. In such circumstances, without much discussion on merits of the case, the case is made out for exercising judicial discretion in favour of the applicant herein. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the role attributed to the present applicant in the alleged offence, I find no reason to decline pre-arrest bail to the applicant. In the result, the present application is allowed. The applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the event of his arrest in connection with a FIR being C.R. No. 11996006260457 of 2026 registered with Tharad Police Station, District: Vav-Tharad on his executing a personal bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with one surety of like amount on the following conditions: R/CR.MA/11536/2026 ORDER DATED: 02/06/2026 (a) shall cooperate with the investigation and make himself available for interrogation whenever required; (b) shall remain present at concerned Police Station on 11.06.2026 between 11.00 a.m. and 2.00 p.m.; (c) shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the fact of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer; (d) shall not obstruct or hamper the police investigation and not to play mischief with the evidence collected or yet to be collected by the police; (e) shall at the time of execution of bond, furnish the address to the investigating officer and the court concerned and shall not change his residence till the final disposal of the case till further orders; (f) shall not leave India without the permission of the Trial Court and if having passport shall deposit the same before the Trial Court within a week; and (g) it would be open to the Investigating Officer to file an application for remand if he considers it proper and just and the learned Magistrate would decide it on merits; 7.
