The court denied anticipatory bail based on serious allegations and the nature of the injuries inflicted upon the defacto complainant.

ORDER

This bail application is filed under section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita , 2023 (for short ‘ BNSS ’).

2. Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.414 of 2025 of Badiadukka Police Station, Kasaragod, registered for the offences punishable under sections 329(4), 126(2), 115(2), 118(1) & 110 of the Bharathiya Nyaya Sanhitha , 2023.

3. According to the prosecution, due to a previous enmity, the accused had, on 25.05.2025, assaulted the defacto complainant by stabbing her with a knife and thereby committed the offences alleged.

4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Public Prosecutor.

5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner has been falsely arrayed as an accused and that he has no involvement in the alleged crime.

6. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application.

7. Petitioner is alleged to have assaulted the defacto complainant with a knife since she allegedly backed out of her relationship with him. The injury inflicted on account of the assault is serious in nature and the defacto complainant was admitted in the hospital with the stab injury.

Considering the nature of allegations and the injury inflicted, I am of the view that this is not a fit case to release the petitioner on anticipatory bail.
