    Case Summary: Mokthar v. State of Karnataka (Crl.Mis.5064/2026) The court granted anticipatory bail to Mokthar (72-year-old retired car driver) in a case involving charges under Sections 138 and 135 of the Indian Electricity Act (2003) and Section 325 of BNS 2023. The charges arose from an illegal electric fence installation on agricultural land that resulted in a wild elephant's death by electrocution. The court found the allegations must be proven at trial, the offences do not carry life imprisonment or death penalties, and stringent bail conditions adequately protect prosecution interests. Mokthar was released on a personal bond of Rs. 1,00,000 with conditions including monthly police attendance, cooperation with investigation, and non-tampering with witnesses.
