Junagadh resident granted bail in assault case: Applicant No.2 in a recent FIR involving assault charges (IPC Sections 323-326) secured bail from a Junagadh court. The decision considered the nature of the injuries, the applicant's background, and the complainant's recovery.
First Information Report (FIR) was registered at Manavadar Police Station. The applicant, facing charges including assault (Sections 323, 324, 325, 326 of the IPC) and criminal intimidation (Sections 504, 506(2) of the IPC), was released on a bail amount of Rs. 10,000.
The court considered several factors in its decision, including the nature of the alleged assault (not on a vital body part), the lack of prior criminal history for the applicant, and the complainant's discharge from the hospital.
The bail conditions include:
- Regular court appearances
- Not tampering with the prosecution's case
- Surrendering passport (if applicable)
- Refraining from leaving India without court permission
- Monthly check-ins at a designated police station for six months
- Maintaining a fixed address and informing the court of any changes
The order clarifies that the bail applies only if the applicant is not required in connection with any other offenses. It also emphasizes that the trial court will make its own independent judgment based on the evidence presented, and the observations in this order are not to be considered a predetermined outcome.
