                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR VERMA
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   31-03-2026                     Heard Mr. Shantanu Kumar, learned counsel for the

                   petitioner, Mr. Parijat Saurav, learned counsel for the Informant

                   and Mrs. Sharda Kumari, learned APP for the State.

                                 2. Petitioner seeks bail, who is in custody since

                   17.12.2025, in connection with Chakki P.S. Case No. 04 of

                   2024, F.I.R. dated 26.08.2024                  registered for the offences

                   punishable under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 109, 115(2),

                   118(1), 125, 126(2), 352, 351(2) and (3) of the B.N.S., 2023 and

                   Section 27 of the Arms Act.

                                 3. Allegation against the petitioner is of firing on the

                   brother of the informant, namely, Arjun Singh.

                                 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19509 of 2026(2) dt.31-03-2026
                                            2/3




          present case. He further submits that it appears from the F.I.R.

          that due to previous dispute, the present occurrence had taken

          place and there is case and counter case between the parties.

          Although there is specific allegation of firing attributed against

          the petitioner by means of firearm to one Arjun Singh but from

          perusal of the injury report of Arjun Singh it appears that no

          firearm injury was found on the person of Arjun Singh. He

          further submits that the police after investigation submitted

          chargesheet against the petitioner and the petitioner is in custody

          since 17.12.2025.

                       5. Learned counsel for the Informant as well as

          learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, on the other

          hand, has vehemently opposed the prayer for             bail of the

          petitioner and submits that there is direct and specific allegation

          against the petitioner in the present F.I.R. and apart from that the

          petitioner carries one more case other than the present one but

          fairly submits on the basis of paragraph-3 of the bail petition

          that the petitioner is on bail in the pending matter.

                       6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the

          case, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on

          furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand)

          with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of

                         learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar in connection with

                         Chakki P.S. Case No. 04 of 2024, subject to the following

                         conditions :-

                                      (1) Petitioner shall co-operate in the trial and shall be

                         and shall remain physically present as directed by the Court and

                         on his absence on two consecutive dates without sufficient

                         reason, his bail bond shall be cancelled by the Court below.

                                      (2) If the petitioner tampers with the evidence or the

                         witness, in that case, the prosecution will be at liberty to move

                         for cancellation of bail.

                                      (3) And, further condition that the court below shall

                         verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case at

                         any stage, it is found that the petitioner has concealed his

                         criminal antecedents, the court below shall take step for

                         cancellation of bail bond of the petitioner.             However, the

                         acceptance of bail bonds in terms of the above-mentioned order

                         shall not be delayed for purpose of or in the name of

                         verification.
