                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR VERMA
                                       ORAL ORDER

4   03-07-2026                          Heard Mr.Bakshi S.R.P. Sinha, learned senior

                   counsel for the petitioner, who has appeared through virtual

                   mode, learned counsel for the informant and Ms.Veena Kumari

                   Jaiswal, learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                 2. The petitioner seeks bail, who is in custody since

                   13.11.2025 in connection with Dhanaha P.S. Case No. 366 of

                   2025, F.I.R. dated 12.11.2025 registered for the offence

                   punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109(1), 352,

                   351(3), 303(2), 3(5) of BNS, 2023 but later on amended Section

                   103(1) has been added.

                                 3. Allegation against the petitioner is that he assaulted

                   to the mother of the informant, namely, Guma Devi by means of

                   Bakua causing head injury due to which she died in course of

          treatment.

                       4. Learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner

          submits that the petitioner has clean antecedent. The allegation

          as alleged in the FIR is false and fabricated and the petitioner

          has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. From a

          bare perusal of the FIR it appears that due to some political

          rivalry the present occurrence has taken place. There is case and

          counter case and there is no specific allegation of any assault or

          overt-act attributed against the petitioner rather there is general

          and omnibus allegation against all the accused persons including

          the petitioner.

                       5. Learned counsel for the informant and learned APP

          for the State, on the other hand, have vehemently opposed the

          prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that from a bare

          perusal of the FIR it appears that there is direct and specific

          allegation against the petitioner that he has assaulted to the

          mother of the informant and she has died during her treatment.

                       6. Considering the nature of allegation against the

          petitioner in the FIR supported by the medical evidence, I am

          not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with

          Dhanaha P.S. Case No. 366 of 2025 pending in the court of

          learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Bagaha, West Champaran.

                                      7. Prayer is refused.


                                                           (Rajesh Kumar Verma, J)
