Holding
Bail was granted to the petitioner on condition of a Rs.10,000 bond with two sureties.
Summary
Ambuj Singh, son of Dr. Usha Singh, was arrested in connection with the death of a woman and her infant during a delivery at Dr. Singh's clinic, alleged under Sections 103(1), 61(2)(a) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The petitioner contended that he was falsely implicated merely because of his familial relationship to the doctor, noting that the doctor and the daughter‑in‑law had already been granted bail. The State opposed the bail application.

The order was pronounced by Justice Prabhat Kumar Singh of the Patna High Court.
