Holding
The court granted bail to the petitioner.
Summary
Yogendra Ravidas was arrested on 16‑02‑2026 in connection with PS Tankuppa case No. 152 of 2025 for alleged assault, charged under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. He filed a regular bail application, asserting that he is innocent and has only one prior criminal antecedent. The State opposed the bail on the ground of the seriousness of the offences. After hearing counsel for both sides, the Patna High Court allowed the bail application, directing the petitioner to furnish a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of the same amount to the Chief Judicial Magistrate. The court clarified that its order is confined to bail and does not prejudice the merits of the trial.
