Prosecutor for the State.
2. Petitioner seeks bail who is in custody since
12.09.2025 in connection with Medini Chowki P.S. Case No. 83
of 2025, F.I.R. dated 09.06.2025 for the offences punishable
under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 303(2), 109(1) and 3(5) of the
BNS, 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act.
3. According to prosecution case, this petitioner along
with other accused persons tried to snatch gold chain from the

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.83373 of 2025(4) dt.19-01-2026
2/2
petitioner has clean antecedent and he has falsely been
implicated in the present case. The allegation as alleged in the
F.I.R is false and fabricated and the petitioner has not committed
any offence as alleged in the F.I.R.
5. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the basis
of material available on record and the case diary has
vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and
submits that from perusal of the F.I.R it appears that there is
direct and specific allegation against the petitioner that he has
fired on the head of the informant's son due to which he
received injury which is grievous in nature.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances
that there is direct and specific allegation of firing attributed
against the petitioner supported by the medical evidence, I am
not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with
Medini Chowki P.S. Case No. 83 of 2025 pending in the court
of learned J.M. 1st Class, Lakhisarai.
7. Prayer is refused.
