Patna High Court

Alok KumarversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 29 April 2026
Disposal: BAIL GRANTED
Bench: SATYAVRAT VERMA

Holding

Anticipatory bail was granted, subject to conditions, because the petitioner demonstrated a clean antecedent, false implication, and willingness to cooperate, in accordance with Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.

Summary

Alok Kumar petitioned for anticipatory bail after being implicated in a cyber‑crime case registered under several sections of the B.N.S., 2023. He asserted a clean antecedent and claimed that the informant, an employee of the cyber‑cafe, falsely implicated him. The State opposed the bail. The court examined the petitioner's claim of false implication, his willingness to cooperate with the investigation, and his clean record. It granted anticipatory bail on the condition that he surrenders within six weeks, furnishes bail bonds of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, and that his father act as one bailor. The order also empowered the trial court to cancel the bail if the petitioner fails to cooperate.
