Hon’ble Delhi High Court while dealing with a petition here on 14-03-2019 in the case of “Atibal Singh v. State of NCT of Delhi” stated that facts of the judgment of the regular bail will not be applicable in the case of anticipatory bail.

BRIEF FACTS OF THE CASE

An FIR was registered consequent to information received that a person was found in an injured condition under a flyover. When the concerned duty officer reached the flyover, he came to know that the person had been moved to Apollo Hospital. During investigation, it was found that the person had succumbed to his injuries because of a gunshot. The case of the prosecution is based on an alleged confessional/disclosure statement of one Bhikam.

Thus, this petition was filed seeking anticipatory bail in FIR No.310/2018 under Section 302 IPC, Police Station Sarita Vihar.

DECISION OF THE COURT

Hon’ble Court held that at this stage, when the investigation qua the role of the petitioner is at a very nascent stage, it would not be in the interest of justice to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail.

Court further stated that the facts of the judgment of the regular bail will not be applicable in the case of anticipatory bail.

Thus, the petition was found of no merit and was dismissed.
