                                       ORAL ORDER

2   14-05-2026                      Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner has prayed for regular bail in a case

                   registered for the offence punishable under sections 309(5), 109(1)

                   and 3(5) of BNS and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

                                3. The case of the prosecution is that certain miscreants

                   entered the shop of the informant and they attempted to loot but

                   they were not successful in the act.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Learned

                   counsel for the petitioner has submitted that as per the FIR, all the

                   miscreants have masked their faces. The petitioner is not named in

                   FIR rather his name has transpired on the basis of confessional

                   statement of co-accused Mayanak Kumar. Save and except
            Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32914 of 2026(2) dt.14-05-2026
                                                        2/2




                      confessional statement of co-accused, there is nothing against this

                      petitioner. As far as CCTV footage is concerned, according to the

                      case of the prosecution, the miscreants have masked their face, as

                      such, there is no chance of identification. Nothing has been

                      recovered from the possession of the petitioner. Moreover, he is

                      languishing in judicial custody since 06.05.2025.

                                   5. Learned APP appearing for the State has vehemently

                      opposed the prayer of regular bail and has submitted that petitioner

                      is having criminal antecedent of four cases.

                                   6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

                      considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this court is

                      inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named

                      petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with

                      Ratanpur P.S. Case No. 18 of 2025 on furnishing bail bond of

                      Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount

                      each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class,

                      Begusarai.
