                                       ORAL ORDER

3   08-07-2026                  Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and

                   learned APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with

                   Thawe P.S. Case No. 29 of 2026 registered for the offence under

                   Sections 308(2), 308(3), 308(4), 308(5) and 111(1) of the

                   Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

                                3. As per the prosecution case, the petitioner, along

                   with other co-accused, is said to have demanded extortion of Rs.

                   5 Lakh from the informant.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence.

                   Petitioner is in custody since 18.03.2026.

                                5. Per contra, learned counsel for the State
            Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.43864 of 2026(3) dt.08-07-2026
                                                        2/2




                      vehemently opposes the bail application and submits that the

                      allegations against the petitioner are serious and grave in nature.

                      It is contended that there exists prima facie material against the

                      petitioner indicating his involvement in the commission of the

                      offence. It is also submitted that the petitioner is related with the

                      alleged mobile number by which the extortion of Rs. 5 Lakh

                      was demanded.

                                    6. Considering the nature and the gravity of the

                      offence, this Court is not inclined to grant regular bail to the

                      petitioner.

                                    7. Accordingly, this application for regular bail stands

                      dismissed.

                                    8. It is made clear that any observation made herein is

                      prima facie in nature and limited solely for the purpose of

                      adjudication of the present bail application. Such observations

                      shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case

                      and shall not influence the trial or any other proceedings in any

                      manner.
