STATE vs GAURAV VIJ — 341/2026

The court granted regular bail to Gaurav Vij, accused of chain snatching under Section 303(2) BNS, after he spent over two months in judicial custody. The court noted that while the allegations were serious and the complainant successfully identified him in TIP proceedings, the investigation was complete, the charge sheet filed, and the offense was a compoundable Magistrate-triable offense; extended pre-trial detention served no purpose given the lengthy trial timeline ahead. Bail was granted on a Rs. 10,000 bond with strict conditions including mandatory court attendance, no witness contact, and non-commission of similar offenses.
