Summary
The petitioner, Ranjit Rai, sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case (PS No.20 of 2026) filed under multiple sections of the Bihar Penal Code for alleged assault causing injuries to Rinku Kumari. The prosecution alleged that the petitioner assaulted the victim, resulting in a nasal fracture, as recorded in the FIR. The petitioner contended that the FIR was exaggerated and stemmed from a land dispute between the parties. The State opposed the bail, emphasizing the medical evidence of injury. After considering the submissions, the Court found the allegations serious enough to deny any relief, rejecting the anticipatory bail application.
