This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the
BNSS (438 Cr.P.C.) has been filed by the petitioner apprehending
his arrest in connection with FIR No.133/2024, registered at Police
Station Chitalwana, District Jalore for the offences under Sections
126(2), 115(2), 78(2), 140(3), 308(2), 70(1), 79 and 3(5) of the
BNS.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
has not been named in the FIR nor in the statement of the victim
‘S’ (aged about 18 years) recorded before the competent Criminal
Court under Section 183 and 180 of the BNSS. He submits that
the allegation are primarily against Vikas and Durgaram, and that
the petitioner had no active role to play in the said incident. He
further submits that a compromise has arrived at between the
petitioner and victim ‘S’ and in this regard a copy of the affidavit
executed by the victim ‘S’ and her mother Bidami Devi has been
[2025:RJ-JD:34115] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-4539/2025]
placed on record. He contends that in this affidavit complainant
has categorically stated that she does not want to continue the
proceeding against the petitioner. Thus, no fruitful purpose would
be served by sending the petitioner behind the bars.
