Holding
The Court held that, given the nature and gravity of the cyber‑fraud offences, bail could not be granted and the application was dismissed.
Summary
The petitioner, Subodh Kumar Gami, applied for regular bail in a cyber‑fraud case (Sitamarhi Cyber P.S. Case No. 21 of 2025) involving offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Information Technology Act. The charges include sections 318(4), 319(2), 336(3), 338, 340(2), 111(2) of the BNS and sections 66, 66(C), 66(D) of the IT Act, alleging cyber fraud. The petitioner contended innocence, lack of a formal complaint, and that he was arrested at a coaching centre, having been in custody since 16‑04‑2025. The State opposed bail, emphasizing the seriousness of the alleged cyber‑fraud. The Court, after reviewing the earlier bail denial and the gravity of the offences, found no sufficient ground to grant bail and dismissed the second bail application.
