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.
