Holding
Bail was granted to the petitioner on the condition of a Rs.10,000 bond with two sureties and compliance with stipulated conditions.
Summary
The petitioner, Sintu Kumar, was arrested on 20 November 2025 in connection with an assault on an informant using an iron rod, alleged under several sections of the Bihar Negotiable Securities Act, 2023. He sought bail, claiming a clean criminal record and that the incident arose from a petty dispute and was committed in the heat of the moment without intent to kill. The State, represented by the APP and the informant’s counsel, opposed bail. The Court considered the petitioner’s clean antecedent, the nature of the offence, and the lack of pre‑meditation, and decided to grant bail subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and specific conditions regarding trial cooperation, non‑tampering with evidence, and verification of antecedents. The bail order was issued with provisions for cancellation upon breach of conditions.
