Holding
The court granted regular bail to the petitioner on condition of a bond and sureties.
Summary
The petitioner, Amit Kumar, a 22‑year‑old student, was arrested on charges under Sections 140(2), 140(3) and 3(5) of the B.N.S. for alleged involvement in a kidnapping and ransom demand. He applied for regular bail, claiming innocence, lack of incriminating material in his possession, no prior criminal record, and that he would not abscond or tamper with evidence. The State opposed the bail, but the court noted the petitioner’s young age, educational commitments, and the period already spent in custody. Considering these factors, the court ordered his release on bail with a bond of Rs.10,000 and two sureties of the same amount. The bail order was directed to be recorded by the Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Patna City.
