Patna High Court

Niraj Kumar @ Niraj Kumar SinghversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 21 January 2026
Disposal: BAIL GRANTED
Bench: PARTHA SARTHY

Holding

The court granted regular bail to the petitioner.

Summary

The petitioner, Niraj Kumar Singh, was arrested in connection with a case alleging that he and two others hurled a bomb at an informant, though no injury was reported. He filed an application for regular bail, claiming false implication and citing an ongoing dispute with the informant. The prosecution opposed bail, emphasizing the direct allegation of bomb throwing. The court noted the absence of an injury report, the petitioner’s six-month custody, and that a charge‑sheet had already been filed. Considering these factors, the court ordered the petitioner’s release on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of the same amount.

Issues considered

Whether regular bail should be granted to the accused despite allegations of throwing a bomb under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Explosive Substances Act.
