CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS No.636 of 2026 | A.B.P. No.1430 of 2025 | PS. Case No.-90 Year-2025



Advocates:
For the Petitioners:Md. Shamimul Hoda, Advocate, Mr. Anuj Kumar, Advocate
For the Respondents: Mr. Raj Ballabh Singh, APP

Anticipatory bail can be granted when a petitioner demonstrates innocence and possibility of false implications.

Headnote:This judgment concerns a bail application in connection with Chandauti PS. Case No.90 of 2025, alleging illegal possession of government land under various sections of the B.N.S., 2023. The court, upon hearing the petitioners' claims of innocence and the response from the State, found merit in granting bail with conditions to avoid future criminal antecedents being disregarded. The primary issue framed questions around the appropriateness of anticipatory bail. The court reasoned that the petitioners' prior claims against government officials constituted a valid ground for the bail decision. Ultimately, the order is to enlarge the petitioners on bail upon specified conditions.
