ORAL ORDER
Accused No.3 in Crime No.243/2026 registered by Byatarayanapura Police Station, Bengaluru City for the offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 109(1), 351(2), 352 read with Section 3(5) of BNS, 2023, is before this Court in this petition filed under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023, seeking regular bail.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties.
3. FIR in Crime No.243/2026 was registered by Byatarayanapura Police Station, Bengaluru City for the aforesaid offences against Yash and others, based on the first information dated 20.07.2026 received from Sri Yathish A., who is a friend of the injured victim Dixit Singh.
HC-KAR
During the course of investigation of the said case, the petitioner was arrested on 20.07.2026 and remanded to judicial custody. His bail application filed before the jurisdictional Sessions Court in Crl.Misc.No.7754/2026 was rejected on 14.08.2026. Therefore, he is before this Court.
4. A reading of the first information in the present case would reveal that the petitioner is the father of accused No.1 and accused No.2 is the friend of accused No.1. On 19.07.2026, the first informant and his friends went out to have drinks at about 09:30 p.m. It appears that the petitioner and his friends were also having drinks at the place where the first informant and his friends were having drinks. Since the first informant took the water bottle of the petitioner without asking him, there was a quarrel between the first informant and the petitioner. Subsequently, the petitioner allegedly summoned his son, who came to the spot of crime along with his friend and thereafter assaulted the first informant and his friend, Dixit Singh.
HC-KAR
5. Learned High Court Government Pleader has submitted that the injured victim has suffered simple injuries in the incident in question.
6. The allegation of assaulting the victim and his friend Dixit Singh is found in the first information against accused No.1. The petitioner, who is the father of accused No.1, is in custody for the last more than two months.
7. Considering the aforesaid aspects of the matter, I am of the opinion that the prayer made by the petitioner for grant of regular bail needs to be answered affirmatively, subject to appropriate conditions. Accordingly, the following:
O R D E R
i) The Criminal Petition is allowed.
ii) The petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail in Crime No.243/2026 registered by Byatarayanapura Police Station, Bengaluru City for the offences punishable
HC-KAR
under Sections 115(2), 109(1), 351(2), 352 read with Section 3(5) of BNS, 2023, subject to the following conditions:
a) The petitioner shall execute personal bond for a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties for the likesum, to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Court; b) The petitioner shall appear regularly on all the dates of hearing before the Trial Court unless the Trial Court exempts his appearance for valid reasons;
c) The petitioner shall not directly or indirectly threaten or tamper with the prosecution witnesses;
d) The petitioner shall not involve in similar offences in future;
e) The petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the Trial Court without
HC-KAR
permission of the said Court until the case registered against him is disposed off.
