Holding
The court held that regular bail could not be granted as sufficient material links the petitioner to the alleged crime.
Summary
Shahrukh Khan was arrested in connection with a robbery and assault on 29 September 2025, during which a co‑accused shot the victim and Shahrukh allegedly stole Rs.50,000. He is charged under Sections 109(1), 303(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner applied for regular bail, claiming innocence.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.15553 of 2026(2) dt.16-03-2026
2/2
Petitioner is in custody since 28.11.2025.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently
opposed the prayer for bail.
6. I have considered the submissions of the parties and
have gone through the records of the case. Sufficient material
has come during the investigation to connect the petitioner with
the crime. Considering the fact that the petitioner has
participated in the alleged crime, this Court is not inclined to
grant regular bail to the petitioner.
7. Accordingly, this application for regular bail stands
rejected.
