Patna High Court

Samim Ansri @ Samim AnsariversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 10 February 2026
Disposal: BAIL GRANTED
Bench: PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH

Holding

The Court granted bail to the petitioners subject to the conditions stipulated under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

Summary

The petitioners, four co‑villagers, sought bail fearing arrest in a case registered under multiple sections of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (B.N.S.) for allegedly assaulting an informant, his brother and family members with lathi and danda and stealing Rs 10,000. The FIR described a general assault arising from a petty dispute between the parties, with both sides sustaining injuries. The petitioners asserted a clean antecedent and argued that the allegations were omnibus. The State opposed the bail application. The Court, after considering the facts, ordered that the petitioners be released on bail provided they surrender within eight weeks, furnish bail bonds of Rs 10,000 each with two sureties of the same amount, and comply with conditions under Section 482 of the B.N.S., 2023.

Issues considered

Whether bail should be granted to the accused in a case involving offences under Sections 115(2), 109, 117(2), 303(2), 351(2), 352, 3(5) and 126(2) of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita.
Whether the seriousness of the alleged assault and theft justifies denial of bail.
Whether the conditions imposed under Section 482 of the B.N.S. are appropriate for granting bail.
