Vaibhav Vardhaman Kala vs State of Maharashtra — 50/2026

Summary of Case 50/2026 Court: Additional Sessions Judge, Paithan, Aurangabad Decision: The court granted anticipatory bail to Vaibhav Vardhaman Kala. The applicant must execute a personal recognizance (P.R) bond of Rs. 15,000 with surety in the same amount, and attend court proceedings as required. Key Reasoning: The applicant appeared before the Magistrate in response to summons but absented himself from the afternoon session due to misconception that the Magistrate could remand him to custody in a case triable by the Court of Session. The Magistrate issued a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) without forwarding the victim's custody application to the Court of Session as mandated by Section 232(2) of BNSS. Since the applicant had reasonable apprehension of arrest and appeared voluntarily initially, the court protected his liberty by granting anticipatory bail pending case commitment to the Sessions Court.
