Holding
Bail was granted to the petitioner subject to specified conditions.
Summary
The petitioner, Nabbir, was arrested on 26-04-2025 in connection with a violent incident on 10-04-2025 where he allegedly seized a motorcycle, assaulted the informant with a knife causing grievous injuries to the neck and abdomen, and then fled. The prosecution charged him under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109, 125(b) and 351(2)(3) of the Bihar Penal Code, alleging intent to kill. The petitioner argued that he has a clean antecedent and that the assault stemmed from a petty dispute without any intention to murder. The court considered the nature of the injuries, the petitioner’s lack of prior criminal record, and the fact that the case had been pending for several months. Weighing these factors, the court granted bail on a bond of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties and imposed conditions regarding cooperation with the trial, non‑tampering with evidence, and verification of antecedents. The bail order was directed to the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Katihar.

3. The prosecution story, in brief, is that on 10.04.2025
at around 12.00 hours the informant namely Sk. Javed was
coming from a marriage ceremony to Amdabad. When he
reached near "Nayyar Cloth Shop" at Paharpur Bandh, the

petitioner / accused running a poultry shop, stopped him and
demanded his motorcycle for 10 minutes. On refusal, the
petitioner snatched the key of the motorcycle. On altercation,
the petitioner brought out a knife from his shop and gave a knife
blow on the neck of petitioner with the intention to kill him
causing severe injury. The informant fell down, and the
petitioner / accused again gave a knife blow on his abdomen.
Hearing the commotion, the villagers rushed towards the spot
but the petitioner fled away. It is stated that the petitioner /
accused had earlier also attempted to kill informant one year
back. The informant was taken to Katihar Sadar Hospital
Katihar where he received 14 stitches in his neck and three in
his abdomen, and the doctor advised an operation.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner has clean antecedent however, there is specific
allegation against the petitioner in the FIR that he has assaulted
the informant but from perusal and background of the FIR it
appears that due to petty dispute the present occurrence took
place and there is no intention on the part of the petitioner to kill
anyone although the injury inflicted upon the informant is
grievous in nature and the police after investigation submitted
charge-sheet against the petitioner.
