Holding
The court granted regular bail to the petitioner subject to bond and surety conditions.
Summary
Ashok Das was arrested in connection with a case registered under multiple sections of the Bihar Penal Code for alleged assaults involving a sword and other weapons. He claimed innocence, alleging that the charges stemmed from a family dispute related to a marriage between his nephew and the informant's daughter, who had previously lodged a complaint. The State opposed his bail application. The court examined the facts and circumstances, noting the petitioner’s claim of false implication and his custody since November 2025. It ordered his release on regular bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of the same amount, subject to his cooperation in the trial. The bail was granted with conditions to appear as required.

implicated. As a matter of fact, the nephew of the petitioner has
solemnized marriage with daughter of the informant for which
she has lodged Jalley P.S. Case No. 120 of 2025. In that case
also, she implicated all the family members. The present case
has been lodged due to previous animosity. The petitioner has
falsely been implicated merely because he is uncle of Ravi
Kumar with whom daughter of the informant has solemnized
marriage. The petitioner is under custody since 15.11.2025.
5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State
has opposed the prayer for bail.
6. Considering the above-mentioned facts and
circumstances, let the petitioner above-named be released on
bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties
of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M.-I,
Darbhanga in connection with Jalley P.S. Case No. 219 of 2025,
subject to the condition that the petitioner shall cooperate in the
disposal of trial and make himself available as and when
required by the court.
