Patna High Court

Ramvilas YadavversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 12 January 2026
Disposal: ALLOWED
Bench: SUNIL DUTTA MISHRA

Holding

Anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioners subject to bond and surety conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.

Summary

The petitioners, Ramvilas Yadav and Raju Ranjan Kumar, applied for anticipatory bail fearing arrest in a case (PS No. 253 of 2025) alleging assault and other offences under several sections of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (B.N.S.S.). The prosecution alleged that the petitioners, along with other accused, attacked an informant in a field, causing injuries. The petitioners contended they were falsely implicated due to a land dispute and asserted their innocence, noting one had a prior criminal record while the other had none, and offered to cooperate with the investigation. The State opposed the bail. The Court, after considering the facts and submissions, ordered that if the petitioners are arrested or surrender within six weeks, they be released on bail with a bond of Rs. 10,000 and two sureties, subject to conditions under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.

Issues considered

Whether the petitioners are entitled to anticipatory bail under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023
Whether the nature of the alleged offences and the petitioners' antecedents justify denial of bail

                   with Haspura P.S. Case No. 253 of 2025, instituted under

                   Sections 126(2), 115(2), 303(2), 109(1), 352, 351(2), 3(5) of the

                   B.N.S.

                                3. As per the prosecution case, on the date of

                   occurrence petitioners along with F.I.R. named accused persons

                   and 2-3 unknown persons armed with weapons surrounded the

                   informant while he was going for walk in Khagdi field. The

                   accused persons brutally assaulted the informant causing him

                   injury on his head, chest, back etc.

                                 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

                      petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this

                      case. There is previous enmity between the parties due to

                      division of land. Both parties are agnates. Injury to the injured is

                      simple in nature. Due to previous case lodged by the petitioners,

                      this case has been filed. Petitioner No. 1 has one criminal

                      antecedent whereas Petitioner No. 2 has no criminal antecedent.

                      They undertake to co-operate in the investigation and trial.

                                   5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

                      anticipatory bail.

                                   6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the

                      case and submission of learned counsel for the parties, in the

                      event of arrest or surrender before the Court below within six

                      weeks from today, the petitioners be released on bail upon

                      furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with

                      two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of

                      learned J.M.F.C., Daudnagar, Aurangabad in connection with

                      Haspura P.S. Case No. 253 of 2025, subject to the conditions

                      Sanhita (B.N.S.S.), 2023.
