Holding
The court granted bail to the petitioner.
Summary
Alok Ram applied for bail in a case registered as Keshariya P.S. Case No. 248 of 2025, involving alleged assault with sticks and iron rods causing injuries, and charges under several sections of the B.N.S., 2023. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner, along with others, assaulted the informant’s nephew and another person. The petitioner contended that he was falsely implicated, that the FIR was vague, that a co‑accused had already been granted bail, and that he had no prior criminal record, having been in judicial custody since 14‑10‑2025. The State opposed the bail. After hearing both sides, the Patna High Court found the circumstances sufficient to grant bail, directing the petitioner to furnish a bail bond of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties.
