HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 8543 of 2026 Court No. - 71 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J.
1. Heard, Learned counsel for the applicants, the Learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 2. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicants in Case Crime No.259 of 2026, under Section 191(2), 117(2), 109(1), 115(2), 351(3), 352 and 333 BNS, Police Station- Behat, District Saharanpur, with a prayer to enlarge them on anticipatory bail as the applicants apprehend their arrest in the above-mentioned case. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants has contended that the applicants have been falsely implicated in the present case. The FIR has been lodged after about 15 days of the occurrence. There are two injured and none of the injured have received any injury which can be considered to be dangerous to life. A general role has been given to the applicants and the applicants have no criminal antecedents. 4. The learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail and has contended that the one of the injured has suffered from dislocation of the shoulder which is a grievous injury. The applicants have been specifically named in the FIR and may not be considered for grant of anticipatory bail. Learned AGA, however, could not dispute the fact that applicants have no criminal antecedents. 5. I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties.

6. Of the two injured, the injured Kanwar Pal Singh has received six injuries and the injured Mohit has also received six injuries. Out of six injuries suffered by Kanwar Pal Singh, one lacerated wound has been found on his forehead and two lacerated wounds have been found on the skull and the elbow joint of the injured Mohit. The lacerated wounds, although, on a vital part of the body have not been opined to be dangerous to life. Even otherwise, the FIR is delayed by 15 days and in the opinion of the Court, such excessive delay in the lodging of the FIR as well as the entire facts and circumstances of the case do not rule out the false implication of the applicant. 7.
Taking into account all the facts and circumstances of the case and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it fit to enlarge the applicants on anticipatory bail. 8. In view of the above, the anticipatory bail application of the applicants is allowed. 9. In the event of the arrest of the applicants Manoj, Neeraj and Sandeep, they shall be released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime on anticipatory bail on furnishing a personal bond and surety each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court concerned with the following conditions:- i. the applicants shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; ii. that 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 them from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; iii. that the applicants shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court; iv. that the applicants shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witness;
10. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the Court concerned NABAIL No. 8543 of 2026 2
shall be at liberty to cancel the bail. 11. It is made clear that observations made hereinabove are exclusively for deciding the instant anticipatory bail application and are not to be considered to be an opinion on the merits of the case. September 8, 2026 S.A.
