Patna High Court

Amardeep Kumar @ Amardeep Rai @ SteelversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 30 January 2026
Disposal: DISMISSED
Bench: NAWNEET KUMAR PANDEY

Holding

Anticipatory bail was denied as the petitioner failed to provide fresh grounds for reconsideration.

Summary

The petitioner, Amardeep Kumar, filed an anticipatory bail petition in 2026, having previously been denied anticipatory bail on 28 November 2022 in the same matter. The petitioner offered no new material or cogent reasons to justify reconsideration of the earlier order, despite a four‑year gap and multiple similar charges against him. The learned counsel for the State opposed the petition, and the court noted the lack of fresh grounds for granting bail. The judge observed that the petitioner does not merit the privilege of anticipatory bail under the circumstances. Consequently, the court rejected the anticipatory bail petition.

Issues considered

Whether anticipatory bail can be granted when the petitioner offers no new material or reasons after a prior refusal.

Subjects

anticipatory bail
criminal procedure
bail jurisdiction
repetition of petition
lack of fresh material

3   30-01-2026                      Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as

                   the learned APP for the State.

                                2. Earlier, the bail petition of the petitioner was rejected

                   by this Court vide order dated 28.11.2022 in Cr. Misc. No. 57225 of

                   2022.

                                3. No cogent reason has been given by the learned counsel

                   for the petitioner for reconsideration of the earlier order dated

                   28.11.2022 in Cr. Misc. No. 57225 of 2022 whereby his prayer for

                   anticipatory bail was refused. After four years of refusal of the

                   anticipatory bail, the petitioner has again filed the present

                   anticipatory bail petition. The petitioner is accused in a number of

                   similar cases.

                                4. The petitioner doesn’t deserve the privileges for

                   anticipatory bail. Accordingly, it is rejected.
