Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru; CRL.A No. 1032 of 2023 u/s 14(A)(2) SC/ST (POA) Act 2015; M G Uma, J.; decided 16.07.2025. Anticipatory bail appeal concerning Spl.C.C.No.547/2023, offences u/s 302, 201, 343, 364, 307, 504, 506 r/w 149 IPC and 3(2)(V), 3(1)(E) SC/ST (POA) Act 1989; impugned order dated 06.05.2023 in Crl.Misc.No.2877/2023 of Special City Civil and Sessions Judge Bangalore (SC/ST) (CCH-71). Appeal filed 29.05.2023 dismissed after ~2 years on ground that no apprehension of arrest subsists; anticipatory bail denied; non-impleadment of deceased's father noted.
What did the court decide?
Since the main prayer in the appeal is for grant of anticipatory bail and about two years have already lapsed since the filing of the appeal on 29.05.2023, it cannot be said that there is any apprehension of arrest of the appellant, and there is no reason to keep the appeal pending.
