Patna High Court

Fahim Ansari @ Raju @ Raju Sri Md. Alimuddin AnsariversusThe State of Bihar

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

Holding

The Court granted regular bail to the petitioner, directing release on a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties.

Summary

Fahim Ansari applied for regular bail in a robbery case (Sections 392, 395, 412 IPC) arising from Simultalla P.S. Case No. 35 of 2024. The prosecution alleged that four accused on two motorcycles looted an informant, and the petitioner was implicated based on a co‑accused's confessional statement. The petitioner argued that the FIR was lodged against unknown persons and that he had been falsely implicated, having remained in custody for two years without a T.I. parade, no incriminating material recovered, and a chargesheet already filed. The State opposed the bail. Considering the prolonged detention, lack of recovered articles, and the filing of the chargesheet, the Court ordered the petitioner to be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of equal amount, subject to the satisfaction of the District and Additional Sessions Judge, Jamui.

Issues considered

Whether regular bail should be granted to the petitioner despite the seriousness of the offences under Sections 392, 395, and 412 IPC.
Whether the prolonged pre‑trial detention of two years without a T.I. parade warrants bail.
Whether the lack of recovery of incriminating articles and the filing of a chargesheet affect the bail decision.
