ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT (Court No. 86) | Neutral Citation: 2025:AHC:84420 | Crl. Misc. Anticipatory Bail Application U/S 482 BNSS No. 3880 of 2025 | Santosh Chaudhary v. State of U.P. and Another | Coram: Dr. Gautam Chowdhary, J. | Order dated 19.5.2025. The applicant sought anticipatory bail in relation to Case Crime No. 180/2024 under Ss. 85/80(2)/92 BNS and Ss. 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act (police station/district named in the FIR but Devanagari illegible), pleading absence of criminal antecedents and undertaking to cooperate with the investigation; the complainant side alleged dowry-linked demands and referred to an incident of 15.11.2024 (particulars unrecoverable owing to OCR corruption). After hearing counsel for both sides and perusing the record, the court held that suitable and sufficient grounds had not been made out and DISMISSED the application, expressly leaving the applicant free to file a regular anticipatory bail application before the concerned trial court. NOTE: The Hindi text is heavily OCR-corrupted; all quotations are reproduced character-for-character from the corrupted source and were individually re-verified.
