3   01-07-2026                 Heard the learned counsel for the appellant, the

                   learned Special PP for the State and the learned counsel for the

                   informant.

                               2. The appeal is directed against the order dated

                   12.02.2026 passed by the learned District and Additional

                   Sessions Judge-I-cum-Special Judge, Madhubani in G.R. No.

                   1102/2025 arising out of Andhramath P.S. Case No. 105/2025

                   dated 13.06.2025, registered for the alleged offences punishable

                   under Sections 103 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita,

                   2023 (BNS), wherein cognizance has been taken under Sections

            Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.1233 of 2026(3) dt.01-07-2026
                                                         2/2




                                   3. As per the prosecution case, the appellant is

                      accused of killing two persons including a child.

                                   4. The learned counsel for the appellant has submitted

                      that the appellant is quite innocent and has not committed any

                      offence. He further submits that the appellant is in custody since

                      23.06.2025 and has no criminal antecedents.

                                   5. Per contra, learned Spl. PP for the State and the

                      learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the

                      bail application and submits that the allegations against the

                      appellant are serious and grave in nature. It is contended that

                      there exists prima facie material against the appellant indicating

                      his involvement in the commission of the offence.

                                   6. Considering the nature and the gravity of the

                      offence, this Court is not inclined to grant regular bail to the

                      appellant.

                                   7. Accordingly, this appeal for regular bail stands

                      dismissed.



                                                          (Sandeep Kumar, J)
