Jharkhand HC Grants Anticipatory Bail to Saroj Yadav in Arms Act Case

Saroj Yadav filed a petition seeking anticipatory bail in connection with a case under the Arms Act, where his name emerged from a co-accused's confessional statement. The petitioner, a farmer with no criminal history, argued against his arrest based on the circumstances of the case. The court considered the lack of prior criminal antecedents and directed the petitioner to surrender within two weeks, with the provision for release on appropriate terms. The decision underscores the court's consideration of the petitioner's background in granting bail.
