Holding
The Court granted bail to the petitioner subject to specified conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S., 2023.
Summary
Ramesh Yadav petitioned the Patna High Court for bail in a criminal case (Narpatganj P.S. Case No.101 of 2025) involving offences under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109, 352 and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, arising from a land‑dispute altercation that caused injuries. The petitioner claimed he was falsely implicated, asserted that both parties were agnates and that a counter‑case (Case No.108 of 2025) existed, and noted he had not previously applied for anticipatory or regular bail. The State opposed the bail, highlighting the seriousness of the charges and the petitioner’s involvement in two other cases. The Court, after considering the facts and the counter‑case, granted bail on the condition that the petitioner surrender within eight weeks, furnish a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, and comply with conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S., 2023, including cancellation of bail if undisclosed criminal antecedents are discovered. The order was pronounced by Justice Jitendra Kumar.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner despite the seriousness of the offences and his involvement in other cases
- Whether the conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S., 2023 are applicable to this bail application
