Holding

Bail is granted to the petitioner subject to a bond of Rs.10,000, two sureties and compliance with conditions under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.

Summary

Brajesh Kumar Singh was arrested in a case alleging that he assaulted two government surveyors and a special survey informant on 3 January 2026, leading to charges under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 352, 351(3) and 132 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The petitioner claimed innocence, arguing that the villagers were merely demanding a fair survey and that no injury was caused. He also highlighted his willingness to cooperate with the investigation and asserted that there was no risk of absconding or tampering with evidence, despite having two prior criminal antecedents for which he was on bail. The State opposed the bail application. The Court, after considering the facts, the seriousness of the allegations and the petitioner’s assurances, ordered his release on bail subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and compliance with conditions under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.

Issues considered

  • Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner despite the serious nature of the offences alleged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
  • Whether the petitioner poses a risk of absconding, tampering with evidence, or influencing witnesses.

4   08-07-2026                           Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                     2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case

                   registered under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 352, 351(3) and 132 of

                   the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

                                   3. As per the F.I.R., it is alleged that on 03.01.2026,

                   surveyors Ravi Kumar and Pushpa Kumari were doing the

                   Kishtwar as per the government rules in revenue village Gobina,

                   in the meantime, this petitioner came and started abusing and

                   assaulting both the surveyors. When informant, who is working

                   as a special survey Karoongo, received the said information, he

                   proceeded to the spot. It is further alleged that the after seeing

                   the informant, the petitioner caught him by collar and tore his

                   shirt and assaulted him. The entire incident has been recorded in
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22329 of 2026(4) dt.08-07-2026
                                            2/3




          the mobile phone of the informant.

                          4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

          petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely

          been implicated in the present case. Further submission is that

          the villagers had only demanded fair survey. They were

          opposing the illegal demand of the survey workers from

          performing their official duty. No one has sustained injury in the

          alleged occurrence. Petitioner has neither abused any survey

          Amin nor disturbed the survey work. Although, petitioner has

          two criminal antecedents but he is on bail in both the cases.

          Petitioner undertakes to cooperate in the investigation and trial.

          There is no chance of absconding of the petitioner or tampering

          with the evidence.

                        5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposed the prayer for

          bail.

                        6. Having considered the facts and circumstances of

          the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties and

          nature of allegation, let the above named petitioner be released

          on bail, in the event of arrest or surrender before the learned

          court below within a period of six weeks from today, on

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

          two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of
