                   registered for the offence punishable under Sections 303(2) &

                               3.       The case of the prosecution, in short, is that the

                   informant got information that sand is being illegally excavated

                   and is being stored. Altogether 3,000 CFT of sand was found.

                               4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in

                   later part of the FIR it is alleged that the informant came to
            Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.13650 of 2026(2) dt.12-03-2026
                                                        2/2




                      know during enquiry that the petitioner is one amongst the

                      accused persons who were liable for this. Learned counsel for

                      the petitioner has further submitted that nothing has been

                      recovered from the possession of this petitioner. Learned

                      counsel has further submitted that no one has seen him

                      collecting or excavating the sand and it is only the objective

                      satisfaction of the informant that the petitioner was involved in

                      the act. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the

                      petitioner is in judicial custody since 13.12.2025.

                                   5. Learned APP appearing for the state has opposed

                      the prayer of regular bail and has submitted that the petitioner is

                      having criminal antecedent of four cases.

                                   6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances

                      of the case, this court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on

                      bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be released on

                      bail in connection with Shambhuganj P.S. Case No. 264 of

                      2025 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with

                      two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of

                      learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Banka.
