Holding
The Court held that bail must be granted to the petitioners, subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 and two sureties, in accordance with Section 482(2) of BNSS 2023.
Summary
The petitioners, five members of the Yadav family, were implicated in a land‑dispute altercation that led to the alleged assault of an informant, resulting in a simple injury as per the medical report. An FIR dated 28‑06‑2025 charged them under sections 126(2), 115(2), 303(2), 352 and 3(5) of the Bihar Negotiable (BNS) Act. Fearing arrest, they filed a bail petition before the Patna High Court. The State opposed the bail, but the Court considered the nature and severity of the injury, the circumstances of the dispute, and the statutory provisions governing bail. Relying on Section 482(2) of the Bihar Negotiable Special Statutes (BNSS) 2023, the Court ordered that bail be granted upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of equal amount, subject to the conditions prescribed. The petition was consequently disposed with bail granted to each petitioner.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioners under Section 482(2) of BNSS 2023 despite the charges under sections 126(2), 115(2), 303(2), 352 and 3(5) of BNS.
