Reason:
Crl.A. @ SLP(Crl.) No. 12658/2025 1
the Arms Act, 1959.
By order dated 14.08.2025, this Court
granted protection from arrest to the
appellant, Amir Alam, in relation to the
aforestated complaint case.
Despite service of notice, respondent
No. 2, the complainant, has not chosen to
enter appearance before this Court.
The State of Bihar filed a counter
affidavit/reply, opposing grant of relief
to the appellant.
However, we are of the opinion that
the appellant, Amir Alam, would be
entitled to grant of relief at this stage,
pending consideration of the aforestated
complaint case by the trial Court.
The appeal is, accordingly, allowed,
setting aside the impugned judgment/order.
It is directed that, in the event the
appellant, Amir Alam, is arrested in
connection with the complaint case in
question, he shall be released on bail
forthwith on such terms and conditions as
may be fixed by the trial Court.
Crl.A. @ SLP(Crl.) No. 12658/2025 2
The appellant, Amir Alam, shall abide
by the conditions stipulated in Section
482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha
Sanhita, 2023, and cooperate during the
course of the trial, if any.
We clarify that we have not made any
observations/comments on the merits of the
case and any observation made in this
order is meant only for the limited
purpose of grant of anticipatory bail.
Pending application(s), if any, shall
stand disposed of.
