Court No. - 72

HON'BLE JITENDRA KUMAR SINHA, J.

Heard Sri K.S. Chahar, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri S.D. Shukla, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

The present application has been moved seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime no. 154 of 2025 under Section 75 of B.N.S., Police Station Kagaraul, District Agra with the prayer that in the event of arrest, the applicant may be released on bail.

It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that applicant has been falsely implicated in the case and as per the FIR, allegation against him is that he sexually harassed the first informant in the name of performing tantric rituals.

On the other hand, learned A.G.A. submits that he has not received instructions in the matter as yet.

It may be stated that in case of Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra, (2011) 1 SCC 694, it has been held by Hon'ble Supreme Court that while deciding anticipatory bail, the Court must consider nature and gravity of accusation, antecedents of the accused, possibility of accused to flee from justice and that Court must evaluate the entire available material against the accused carefully and the exact role of accused has also to be taken into consideration.

Considering the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and all

NABAIL No. 9607 of 2025
