Holding
Bail was granted because the injury was simple in nature, and the petitioner satisfied the conditions under the relevant statutes.
Summary
Ankit Kumar Sah applied for bail after being charged in Andar Police Station Case No. 178 of 2025 under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109(10), 352 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for allegedly assaulting a victim and causing a simple injury. The petitioner feared arrest and sought relief from the Patna High Court. The court examined the nature of the injury, noting it was simple, and considered the statutory provisions governing bail. Accordingly, the court allowed the bail application, directing release upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of the same amount, subject to conditions under Section 482 of the BNSS and Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The order was pronounced by Justice Sandeep Kumar.

- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner despite the charges under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
