The Court granted bail to the petitioner with specified bond and attendance conditions.
Summary
The petitioner, Munna Kumar, was arrested on 11 December 2025 in connection with a case registered under Raxaul Police Station for alleged dealing in a stolen motorcycle. He faced charges under Sections 317(2), 317(4), 317(5), 111(2)(b) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The petitioner pleaded innocence and sought regular bail, while the State opposed the relief.

The order was limited to the bail application and did not prejudice the merits of the trial.
