Holding
The court granted bail to the petitioner subject to a bond of Rs 10,000 and specified conditions.
Summary
Ajit Kr. Singh was arrested in connection with a violent incident in Raxaul where, after an informant demanded money, he and co‑accused assaulted the informant and stabbed the informant's son in the abdomen. He has been in custody since 25 November 2025 and faces charges under IPC sections 341, 323, 325, 307, 504 and 506. The petitioner pleaded that he has a clean antecedent, was falsely implicated, and acted without intent to kill, merely in a spur‑of‑the‑moment reaction. The prosecution opposed bail, citing the seriousness of the offences, especially attempt to murder. The court, after considering the petitioner’s clean record and lack of prior similar conduct, granted bail on a bond of Rs 10,000 with two sureties and imposed conditions of court attendance, non‑tampering with evidence, and verification of antecedents.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to a person accused of offences including attempt to murder, grievous hurt and criminal intimidation.
- Whether the petitioner’s clean antecedent and alleged lack of intent to kill justify bail despite the seriousness of the charges.
