ORAL ORDER

1. Accused No.4 in Crime No.92/2025 registered by Sira

Police Station, Tumakuru, for the offences punishable under Section 108 and 190 of BNS, 2023, is before this Court under Section 482 of BNSS, 2023, seeking anticipatory bail.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties.

3. FIR in Crime No.92/2025 was registered by Sira Police

Station, Tumakuru, against Vruthik and others based on the first information dated 04.03.2025 received from Radhamma, mother of Viveka aliyas Manu. Apprehending arrest in the said case, petitioner herein, who is arraigned as accused No.4 in the FIR had filed Crl.Misc.No.411/2025 before the jurisdictional Sessions Court which was rejected on 26.03.2025. Therefore, he is before this Court.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that accused

Nos.1 and 2 have been granted regular bail by this Court in Crl.P.No.4333/2025. There is no such allegation in the first -3- information which would attract the alleged offences against the petitioner. Petitioner has no other criminal antecedents. Accordingly, he prays to allow the petition.

5. Per contra, learned Addl. SPP who has opposed the petition however does not dispute the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner.

6. A perusal of the material on record would go to show that

deceased was allegedly selling mushroom and accused Nos.1 and 2 appears to have purchased mushroom from him. It is alleged that, subsequently, it was found that deceased was supplying low quality mushrooms to accused Nos.1 and 2 and therefore, they had demanded repayment of money from him. Therefore, deceased had committed suicide by hanging himself. There is no mention of any such incident that had taken place immediately prior to the death of deceased which would have either instigated or abetted the deceased to commit suicide. Accused Nos.1 and 2 have been granted regular bail by this Court in Crl.P.No.4333/2025. As against the petitioner herein, omnibus allegations are found in the first information. Considering the aforesaid aspects of the matter, I am of the -4- opinion that the prayer made by the petitioner, who has no other criminal antecedents for grant of anticipatory bail needs to be answered affirmatively. Accordingly, the following order:-

7. The petition is allowed. The respondent - Police or any

other police in the State of Karnataka are directed to release the petitioner in the event of his arrest in Crime No.92/2025 registered by Sira Police Station, Tumakuru, for the offences punishable under Section 108 and 190 of BNS, 2023, subject to the following conditions:
