Case brief
What is this about?
Anticipatory bail application under Section 482 BNSS (NABAIL No. 4050 of 2026) dismissed by Allahabad High Court, Dr. Gautam Chowdhary, J., on May 12, 2026. Applicants: Krishn Ji, Dharmveer, Pitambar; State of U.P. opposite party. Underlying case: Case Crime No. 335/2025, Sections 115(2)/110, 352, 351(3) BNS, PS Baniyather, District Sambhal. Ground for refusal: chargesheet already filed before trial court after evidence collected; merits left open. Precedent relied on: Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra, (2011) 1 SCC 694. Interim protection, if any, stood vacated; certified copy ordered to be sent to trial court.
What did the court decide?
Since a chargesheet had already been filed against the applicants in the concerned trial court after evidence was found against them, and without expressing any opinion on the merits, the anticipatory bail application is not fit to be accepted and is rejected.
