Ranveer Kumar SinghversusThe State of Bihar

Decided
Disposal
ALLOWED

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.

                                       ORAL ORDER

2   01-06-2026                  Heard Mr. Sudhir Kumar Mishra, learned Advocate

                   for the petitioner and Mr. Pradeep Narain Kumar, learned

                   Additional Public Prosecution for the State through virtual

                   mode.

                                2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection

                   with Amarpur P.S. Case No. 27 of 2026, registered for the

                   offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 109(1), 352,

                   351(2), 3/5 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

                                3. On the alleged date and time of occurrence, while

                   the informant went to see his maize crop, in the meanwhile, the

                   petitioner along with his brother, came there and threatened to

                   withdraw the earlier case bearing no. 726 of 2024. On the

                   objection raised by the informant, it is alleged that co-accused

                   Ranjeet Kumar Singh carrying iron rod on his hand, assaulted
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 35330 of 2026(2) dt.01-06-2026
                                            2/3




          him over his head due to which he sustained serious injury. This

          petitioner also assaulted the informant by means of lathi and

          danda.

                       4. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submitted that

          in fact on the alleged date of occurrence on account of some

          land dispute, the parties have entered into a free fight resulting

          into some unfortunate injuries and there is a counter version of

          the present case being Amarpur P.S. Case No. 28 of 2026. It is

          submitted that in fact in the said occurrence, the brother of the

          petitioner was brutally assaulted at the hands of the informant

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

          To support the aforesaid contention, a copy of the F.I.R. as well

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

          and P/3. It is lastly contended that even if the allegation levelled

          in the F.I.R. is taken to be true, it is co-accused Ranjeet Kumar

          Singh who has assaulted over the head of the informant by

          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.

                       5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State

          vehemently opposed the bail application and submitted that the
            Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 35330 of 2026(2) dt.01-06-2026
                                                        3/3




                      petitioner has also assaulted the informant by means of lathi and

                      danda besides he is carrying one criminal antecedent.

                                   6. Having considered the nature of allegation coupled

                      with the factum of case and counter-case as well as the fact that

                      the injury which is sustained over the head of the informant is

                      not attributed to the petitioner, let the petitioner above named be

                      released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the

                      court below within a period of four weeks from the date of

                      receipt/production of a copy of this order, upon furnishing bail

                      bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties

                      of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief

                      Judicial Magistrate, Banka in connection with Amarpur P.S.

                      Case No. 27 of 2026, subject to the conditions laid down in

                      Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023,

                      with the further condition that one of the bailors shall be the

                      own/close family members of the petitioner.
