Holding
The court refused bail, holding that the seriousness of the charges precludes the grant of bail.
Summary
The petitioners, four individuals from Mahanandpur village, filed a bail application before the Patna High Court, fearing arrest in a case (PS Case No. 146 of 2025) where they are accused of assaulting police officers during the discharge of duty, resulting in injuries including grievous hurt. The FIR charges them under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 303(1), 109(1), 132, 221, 262, 263, 121(2), 3(5)) and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The court examined the seriousness and nature of the allegations, noting the potential threat to public order and the safety of law‑enforcement personnel. Considering the gravity of the offences, the court refused the petitioners' prayer for bail. Consequently, the bail petition was dismissed.
