Patna High Court

Rajpati RamversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 6 April 2026
Disposal: BAIL GRANTED
Bench: PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH

Holding

Anticipatory bail is allowed for the petitioners subject to the conditions prescribed under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.

Summary

The petitioners, five residents of Maranpur, sought anticipatory bail after an FIR was lodged alleging they assaulted an informant and others with lathi and danda, causing injuries. They claimed the incident was a spontaneous fight arising from a pre‑existing land dispute and that no offence was committed. The State opposed the bail application, arguing the seriousness of the offences listed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The court examined the nature of the allegations and the simple injuries sustained. Considering the circumstances, the court granted anticipatory bail, directing that if the petitioners are arrested within eight weeks they may be released on a bail bond of Rs 10,000 with two sureties. The order was made subject to the conditions of Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
