HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 9241 of 2026 Court No. - 71 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J. 1. Heard Learned counsel for the applicants and Learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. 2. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicants in Case Crime No.2191 of 2017, under Sections 323, 354(D), 392, 427, 436, 452, 504 IPC, Police Station Sadar Bazar, District Shahjahanpur, with a prayer to enlarge them on anticipatory bail as the applicants apprehend their arrest in the abovementioned case. 3. The Court is not inclined to consider the case of the applicant no. 1 for grant of anticipatory bail as he is stated to have a criminal history of eight cases and only seven of which have been explained in the application. 4. The application so far as the applicant no. 1 is concerned is hereby dismissed. 5. I have considered the submissions made by the Learned counsels for the parties, for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant No.2. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant no.2 has contended that the applicant no. 2 is a lady and is working as a 'Sweeper' at Shahjahanpur. She claims to have been falsely implicated by the informant due to property dispute. The previous criminal cases registered against the applicant no.2, which are two in number; being Case Crime No.750 of 2019, which has been filed by Mukul, the son of the informant and the applicant has been Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Raja Ullah Khan Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Raj Kumar Gautam And Another .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) granted interim protection from this Court in Application under Section 528 BNSS No.38343 of 2025; another case being Case Crime No.351 of 2023 has also been lodged by Mukul, the son of the informant, against the applicant no.2 in which a final report has been submitted. The applicant has no other criminal antecedents. 7. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but does not dispute the explanation given by the applicant with respect to her criminal antecedents. 8. From the perusal of the entire material on record, there appears to be a long standing dispute between the applicant no.2 and the family of the informant. The other two cases that have been registered against the applicant have also been registered by Mukul, who is the son of the informant. The applicant is a lady having no other criminal case to her credit. The case although is of the year 2017 and non-bailable warrants are stated to be pending execution against the applicant, in the opinion of the Court the facts of the case are such which indicate that the applicant No.2, who has been pursuing an Application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. No.26018 of 2023 before this Court cannot be termed to be an absconder. 9. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to enlarge applicant No.2 on anticipatory bail. 10. In view of the above, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant No.2 is allowed. 11. In the event of the arrest of the applicant No.2-Smt. Maya Devi, she shall be released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime on anticipatory bail on furnishing a personal bond and surety to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court concerned with the following conditions:- i. the applicant No.2 shall make herself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; ii. that the applicant No.2 shall not, directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of NABAIL No. 9241 of 2026 2 the case so as to dissuade her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; iii. that the applicant No.2 shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court; iv. that the applicant No.2 shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witness; 12. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the Court concerned shall be at liberty to cancel the bail. 13. 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.
