2026:UHC:3302 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS ABA/143/2026 Hon'ble Rakesh Thapliyal, J. 1. Mr. B.M. Pingal, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Ms. Sweta Dobhal, learned Brief Holder for the State. 3. The instant anticipatory bail application has been moved on behalf of the applicant Vikram Singh, S/o Phool Chand in reference to ongoing investigation pursuant to FIR dated 25.02.2026, bearing FIR No. 39 of 2026 registered at P.S. Rajpur District Dehradun wherein applicant has been implicated along with one Aditya Chaudhary for the offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 IPC. 4. Learned Brief Holder for the State raised serious objection and submits that the instant anticipatory bail application is thoroughly misconceived, since both the offences are punishable for less than seven years and the I.O. concerned is under legal obligation to follow the guidelines as formulated by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Arnesh Kumar vs. State of Bihar, (2014) 8 SCC 273 while conducting the investigation. 5. I found force on the submission of the learned counsel for the State that the apprehension of arrest of the applicant is completely baseless. 6. Accordingly, the instant anticipatory bail application is dismissed being devoid of merit at this stage. (Rakesh Thapliyal, J.) 30.04.2026 Parul 2026:UHC:3302
