Case brief
What is this about?
Anticipatory bail application REJECTED; High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench, Court No. 14; Neutral Citation 2025:AHC-LKO:39430; decided 10.7.2025 by Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar, J. Applicant Shahanawaz Khan @ Annu (counsel Rajesh Kumar Srivastava) v. State of U.P. thru Addl. Chief Secy. Home Lko. and 3 others (counsel G.A. and Onkar Singh). Application under Section 438 Cr.P.C./482 BNSS in FIR/Case Crime No. 792 of 2022, P.S. Kotwali City, District Raebareli; offences: Sections 452, 354(ka), 323, 325, 506 IPC, Sections 7/8 POCSO Act, Section 3(2)5A SC/ST Act; incident dated 05.10.2022 about 10.00 pm; injuries to complainant and minor daughter; injured witness Gita Devi; traumatic swelling 4cm x 4cm left shoulder joint; X-ray fracture; medical report corroboration; claim of false implication and no criminal antecedents rejected.
What did the court decide?
A perusal of the statements of the complainant and the injured shows the complicity of the applicant. The injury report of the injured Gita Devi shows a traumatic swelling 4cm x 4cm on the left shoulder joint, X-ray was advised, and the X-ray report found a fracture. Hence it does not appear to be a case of false implication, and the statements of the complainant and the victim are supported by the medical report.
