Disposal
BAIL GRANTED

Holding

The Court granted regular bail to the petitioner upon the condition of a bail bond and sureties.

Summary

The petitioner, Sunny Paswan, applied for regular bail in a case registered under multiple sections of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023, alleging assault and misbehavior. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner, along with co‑accused, entered the informant’s house, assaulted the informant and his brother, and misbehaved with female members, with the accused being armed. The petitioner contended that the allegations were false, that he had been falsely implicated, and that he had been in custody since 22‑01‑2026, offering to cooperate with the investigation. The State opposed the bail application. After hearing both sides, the Court considered the seriousness of the allegations and the duration of custody, and ordered that the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya.
