Nagaraj Krishnappa vs Range Forest Office, Kaggalipura Division — 150/2026

Case Summary: Nagaraj Krishnappa v. Range Forest Office, Kaggalipura Division (150/2026) The Principal District and Sessions Court at Ramanagar granted interim bail to petitioner Nagaraj Krishnappa under Section 482 of the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure. The court found that while a case was registered against him under the Wildlife (Protection) Act for alleged involvement in a leopard's death, the evidence suggested the animal died on the second accused's property due to quarry blasting—not the petitioner's actions. The court deemed the petitioner eligible for bail based on his local residence, fixed assets, and the bail already granted to the second accused in a related case. Bail was conditioned on a personal bond of ₹50,000 and a surety of equal amount, with strict compliance requirements including court attendance and non-interference with witnesses.
