HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 9366 of 2026 Court No. - 71 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J. 1. Heard, learned counsel for the applicant 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 applicant in Case Crime No. 137 of 2026, under Sections 191(2), 115(2), 109, 126(2) BNS Police Station-Qilla, District-Bareilly, with a prayer to enlarge him on anticipatory bail as the applicant apprehend his arrest in the above-mentioned case. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that six people have been named in the FIR. No specific role has been given to any of the accused. The injured has received two lacerated wounds, both on non-vital parts of the body. In his medical examination, the injured has stated to the doctor that he had consumed about one and a half quarters of country made wine. Learned counsel has stated that it appears that the injured received injuries in some other manner and the FIR has been lodged only to ventilate past grievances. One of the co-accused Ajay had earlier lodged an FIR against the injured and three others and it is an outcome of this previous enmity that this FIR has been lodged. The applicant has a criminal history of five cases and in all the cases, he is on bail. The applicant is not a previous convict. Similarly situated co-accused Prince @ Dinesh Kumar and Shivam Kumar Valmiki @ Shibbu have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court in CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. -7572 of 2026. The case of the applicant stands on a similar footing to that of the co-accused. 4. Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail, however, could not dispute the fact that the applicant is not a previous convict. 5. I have considered the submissions made by the Learned counsels for the parties. 6. The injured has not received any injury, which could be considered to be dangerous Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Divyanshi Joshi, Manvendra Singh, Pushpa Joshi Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Rajan .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) to life. None of the injuries are on a vital part of the body. The accused have been given a general role of assault on the injured and the number of accused is not commensurate to the number of injuries which have been found on the person of the injured. The injured was also in an inebriated state at the time of his medical examination. There is a previous animosity in which an FIR has also been lodged against the injured by one of the accused, Ajay. In the prima facie opinion of the Court, false implication of the applicant cannot be ruled out. Similarly situated co- accused Prince @ Dinesh Kumar and Shivam Kumar Valmiki @ Shibbu have already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court in CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. -7572 of 2026. The case of the applicant stands on a similar footing to that of the co-accused. 7. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to enlarge applicant on anticipatory bail. 8. In view of the above, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant is allowed. 9. In the event of the arrest of the applicant- Rajan, he shall be released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime on anticipatory bail on furnishing of his personal bond and surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court concerned with the following conditions:- i. the applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; ii. that the applicant 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 from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; iii. that the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court; iv. that the applicant shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witness; 10.
