Patna High Court

Md. NasirversusThe State of Bihar

Decided
Disposal
BAIL REJECTED

Holding

Anticipatory bail is denied to the petitioner.

Summary

The petitioner, Md. Nasir, was named in an FIR alleging rape and related offences under several sections of the Bihar Negotiable Substances Act, 2023, in a case registered on 17-12-2025. He applied for anticipatory bail, claiming innocence, lack of evidence, and that the incident stemmed from a scuffle at a tea shop, with a counter‑case filed by his mother after the FIR. The informant, however, had given a statement under Section 183 of the same Act supporting the allegations, which the trial court noted when rejecting an earlier anticipatory bail application. The State opposed bail, emphasizing the victim’s corroborated statement. The High Court, after considering the submissions, found the allegations sufficiently serious and the victim’s statement credible, and therefore declined to grant anticipatory bail.

Issues considered

  • Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner in view of the FIR alleging rape and related offences.
  • Whether the victim’s statement under Section 183 of the BNS, 2023, suffices to deny anticipatory bail.
  • Whether the filing of a counter‑case by the petitioner’s mother impacts the grant of anticipatory bail.

                   learned APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner is apprehending arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable in connection with

                   against seven named accused persons including the petitioner

                   with allegation that the petitioner had committed rape with the

                   informant. Subsequently, other accused persons have also

                   assaulted and abuse the informant.

                                4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. He submits

                                            2/3




          that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case

          as there is no evidence for commitment of rape. He further

          submits that a counter-case has been lodged by mother of the

          petitioner against the informant and others.

                       5. Counsel further submits that on the tea shop,

          scuffling took place between the parties and case has been

          lodged. He further submits that the occurrence alleged to be

          taken place on 12.12.2025, but FIR has been lodged on

          commission of offence is absolutely false and not accepted in

          the light of case and counter-case.

                       6. Learned Counsel also submits that antecedent of

          the petitioner is clean and ready to fulfill all the conditions

          whatsoever shall be imposed upon him.

                       7. Learned counsel for the informant vehemently

          opposes the prayer for bail and submits that in the rejection

          order, the Trial Court at the time of rejecting the anticipatory

          bail of the petitioner have categorically acknowledged that the

          statement made under Section 183 of the BNSS, the informant

          has supported the allegation in her statement.

                       8. Counsel further submits that counter-case may be

          looked into. He further submits that counter-case has been

                                                       3/3




                     lodged on 20.12.2025 i.e., after delay of 3 days of filing of the

                     present case. As such, anticipatory bail application of the

                     petitioner may be rejected.

                                  9. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for

                     bail and submits that statement of the victim under Section 183

                     of the BNSS has acknowledged by way of supporting the

                     specific allegation made in the FIR.

                                  10. In the present facts and circumstances, this Court

                     is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner,

                     therefore the bail application of the petitioner is hereby rejected.



                                                              (Dr. Anshuman, J)
