Kaniyal, learned A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. 3. The Applicant – Ravi Pal – is before this Court seeking anticipatory bail in connection with F.I.R. No. 349 of 2025, registered at Police Station Vikas Nagar, District Dehradun, for the offences punishable under Sections 108 and 351(3) of the B.N.S., 2023. 4. Heard learned counsel for the Applicant and learned State Counsel. Perused the record. 5. Learned counsel for the Applicant submits that a co-accused, having an identical role, has already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 26.02.2026, and therefore, the present case stands on parity. It is further submitted that no specific role has been attributed to the Applicant in the F.I.R.; he has neither mentally harassed the deceased nor extended any threat of shooting to the deceased. 6. Learned State Counsel opposes the Anticipatory Bail Application and submits that the investigation is still in progress. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of allegations, and the parity with the co-accused who has already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Applicant. 8. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the Applicant – Ravi Pal – shall be released on anticipatory bail upon furnishing a personal bond of ₹30,000/- and two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer/concerned Court, subject to the following conditions: (i) The Applicant shall cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the Investigating Officer or the Trial Court 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 the country without prior permission of the Trial Court. 9. It is clarified that if the Applicant misuses the liberty granted or violates any of the conditions imposed, the prosecution shall be at liberty to move an appropriate application for cancellation of anticipatory bail. 10. Accordingly, Anticipatory Bail Application No. 101 of 2026 stands disposed of. (Ashish Naithani, J.) 01.04.2026 Shiksha
