Summary
Vijay Sah was arrested in connection with a case registered under multiple sections of the B.N.S. in Aurai, Muzaffarpur. He had earlier applied for regular bail, which was rejected, and after the charge sheet was filed, he renewed his bail application. The State opposed bail on the ground that the petitioner might abscond, while the petitioner assured cooperation with the trial. The court, after considering the submissions, ordered his release on bail upon furnishing a cash bond of Rs.25,000 and two sureties of equal amount, one of whom must be his mother, Kusmi Devi. The court also warned that the bail could be cancelled if the petitioner attempts to delay the trial.
