Hon'ble Mr. Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 13.07.2026 1. This first anticipatory bail application filed under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed by the applicants, who are apprehending their arrest in connection with Crime No.20/2026 registered at Police Station Ramchandrapur, District Digitally signed by R NIRALA 2 Balrampur - Ramanujganj (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 121 (1), 221 & 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. 2. The prosecution case, in brief, is that when the complainant, Food Inspector was going to hand over the shop to Gram Panchayat Silaju, present applicants, who were running fair price shop, snatched the Panchnama from the complainant because the allotment of fair price shop of the present applicants has been cancelled. Based on above facts present case has been registered. Hence, this bail application. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants would submit that the applicants are innocent and they have been falsely implicated in crime in question. The applicants did not snatch Panchnama from the complainant and instead only asked the complainant about handing over the shop to the Gram Panchayat, as such a false case has been registered against the applicants, therefore, the present applicant may also be enlarged on anticipatory bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel for the non-applicant/State, would opposes the bail application of the applicant and submits that there are two criminal antecedents registered against the present applicants, therefore, the applicants may not be enlarged on bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, gravity of offence and the nature of allegation levelled against the present applicant, without commenting anything on merits, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7. Accordingly, the instant MCRCA is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicants – Ali Mohammad and Shakil Ansari, 3 on executing a personal bond and one surety each in the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting Officer, they shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- “(a) the applicants 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/her from disclosing such fact to the Court.
