No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS ABA/242/2026 Krishna Alias Chikki --Applicant Versus State Of Uttarakhand --Respondent Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J. Mr. Saurabh Kumar Pandey, Advocate for the applicants. Mr. Pankaj Joshi, A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. 2. Applicant seeks anticipatory bail in connection with F.I.R. No.0260 of 2026, under Section 109, 115(2), 190, 191(2), 191(3) & 351(2) of B.N.S., 2023, registered at Police Station Kotwali Laksar, District Haridwar. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated and made a scapegoat in the present case merely on the basis of suspicion, as though the applicant is named in the F.I.R., no specific role has been assigned to him in the commission of the alleged crime, and the F.I.R. itself reveals that no gunshot injury occurred, which contradicts the prosecution’s story; moreover, nothing whatsoever has been recovered from the applicant’s possession or at his pointing out, and in the absence of any credible material linking the applicant to the crime, it is prayed that the applicant be granted the benefit of anticipatory bail to protect him from unlawful arrest. 4. Having considered the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court finds that the applicant is entitled to the benefit of anticipatory bail as no specific role has been assigned to him in the F.I.R., the F.I.R. itself reveals that no gunshot UKHC010108622026 2026:UHC:5079 injury occurred which contradicts the prosecution’s story, nothing whatsoever has been recovered from the applicant’s possession or at his pointing out indicating absence of physical evidence, and the applicant appears to have been made a scapegoat merely on the basis of suspicion without any corroborating material and in view of the lack of credible evidence linking the applicant to the crime, custodial interrogation of the applicant does not appear necessary at this stage. Accordingly, the applicant is entitled to the protection of anticipatory bail. 5. The anticipatory bail application is allowed. 6. In that eventuality of arrest, the Applicant shall be enlarged on anticipatory bail subject to his furnishing a personal bond with two sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer (“AO”). In addition to it, the Applicant shall also comply with the following conditions:- (i). The Applicant shall co-operate with the investigation. (ii). The Applicant shall not approach any witness in any manner, whatsoever. (iii). The Applicant shall not leave the country without prior permission of the concerned court. (iv). The Applicant shall deposit his passport with the AO. The passport may only be returned by the order of the court concerned. In case, the Applicant does not have passport, he shall give an undertaking to that effect to the AO. (v). The Applicant shall also give an undertaking on (i), (ii) & (iii) above.
