Holding
Bail was granted to the petitioner as the grievous injury was not attributable to him and the nature of the allegations did not preclude release on bail.
Summary
The petitioner, Ranveer Kumar Singh, applied for bail in connection with PS case No. 27 of 2026, which alleged offences under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, including assault and rioting. The petitioner claimed the incident arose from a land dispute that escalated into a mutual fight, asserting that the serious head injury to the informant was caused by a co‑accused, Ranjet Kumar Singh, not by him. He submitted the FIR and injury report to support his version and offered to cooperate with the court. The State opposed bail, highlighting the petitioner’s alleged participation in the assault with lathi and danda and his prior criminal record. The court, after weighing the nature of the allegations and noting that the grievous injury was not attributable to the petitioner, granted bail subject to a Rs.10,000 bond, two sureties, and conditions under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to bail despite the serious nature of the alleged offences and his criminal antecedent.
- Whether the injury to the informant can be attributed to the petitioner or to a co‑accused.

him over his head due to which he sustained serious injury. This
petitioner also assaulted the informant by means of lathi and
danda.

and his persons due to which he sustained two grievous injuries.

as injury report have been placed on record as Annexure- P/2

means of iron rod which resulted into grievous injury. The
petitioner undertakes that he will fully cooperate in the
proceeding of the court and do not indulge in such incidence in
future.
