Holding
The Court granted regular bail to the petitioner with specified conditions.
Summary
The petitioner, Rahul Kumar Singh, was arrested in connection with a cheating case where he allegedly defrauded an informant of Rs.10,000 by promising a job, and was charged under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 319(2), 336(2), 336(3) of the Bihar Negotiable Instruments Act and Section 66D of the Information Technology Act. The petitioner claimed the allegations were false, arising from a personal dispute, and asserted that the transactions were friendly, despite having three prior criminal records and being in custody since 19‑01‑2026. The State opposed his regular bail application, citing the seriousness of the offences and his antecedents. The Court, after considering the facts and the petitioner’s undertaking to cooperate, allowed the regular bail, directing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and a condition to appear at the police station every Sunday. Non‑compliance with the attendance condition would lead to cancellation of bail.

- Whether regular bail should be granted to the petitioner despite the nature of the offences and his prior criminal antecedents
