Holding
The High Court allowed the bail, directing release on the same terms as the earlier order dated 06‑08‑2025.
Summary
Manoj Singh, aged about 55, applied for regular bail in a case involving offences under Sections 406, 420, 504, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. He had earlier been granted bail by the Patna High Court on 06‑08‑2025, but the bail bond was not accepted because the statement regarding his criminal antecedents was found to be incorrect. The petitioner re‑filed the bail application, correcting the antecedent details, after the District Court denied bail on 25‑11‑2025, citing a lack of knowledge on the part of his advocate. The High Court noted that it had already released him on bail in the earlier order and therefore directed his release on the same terms and conditions. Consequently, the court allowed the prayer for bail and disposed of the application.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to regular bail despite the earlier rejection of his bail bond on the ground of an inaccurate statement of criminal antecedents
- Whether the earlier bail order can be revived and applied to the present application
