                                       ORAL ORDER

2   07-04-2026                  Heard Mr. Sanjay Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for

                   the petitioner and Mr. Satyendra Prasad, learned Additional

                   Public Prosecutor for the State.

                               2. Petitioner seeks bail who is in custody since

                   04.08.2025 in connection with Magadh Medical P.S. Case No.

                   71 of 2025, F.I.R. dated 26.02.2025 for the offences punishable

                   under Section 309(6) of the BNS, 2023.

                               3.     According to prosecution case, four miscreants

                   entered into the house of the informant and assaulted the

                   informant and her children and locked them in a room and

                   looted valuable articles and ornaments from the house.

                               4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22729 of 2026(2) dt.07-04-2026
                                            2/3




          present case. He further submits that the petitioner is not named

          in the FIR and his name has been transpired during investigation

          on the confessional statement of the co-accused, namely, Pankaj

          Kumar. He further submits that nothing has been recovered from

          the conscious possession of the petitioner and till date no TIP

          has been conducted by the prosecution. The petitioner has been

          remanded in the present case from Tekari P.S. Case No. 141 of

          2025 on 04.08.2025. He further submits that the police after

          investigation submitted the charge sheet against the petitioner.

                      5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has

          vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner on the

          ground that petitioner carries eight criminal antecedents other

          than the present one but fairly submits that he is on bail in six

          cases and rest two cases are pending for consideration before the

          competent court of law.

                       6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances,

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

          bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of

          the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned A.C.J.M-

          V, Gayaji in connection with Magadh Medical P.S. Case No. 71

                      on his absence on two consecutive dates without sufficient

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

                                   ii. If the petitioner tampers with the evidence or the

                      witnesses, in that case, the prosecution will be at liberty to

                      move for cancellation of bail.

                                   iii. 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 antecedent, 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.
