Satyendra PrasadversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 30 June 2026
Disposal: BAIL REJECTED
Bench: PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH

Holding

Anticipatory bail was denied because the nature of the alleged assault and the grievous injuries warranted custody.

Summary

The petitioner, Satyendra Prasad, filed an anticipatory bail application fearing arrest in a case registered under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109(1), 74, 352 and 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

Considering the gravity of the assault and the resultant grievous injury, the Court rejected the petition for anticipatory bail, ordering that the petitioner remain in custody.
