Holding
The court granted regular bail to the petitioner upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties.
Summary
The petitioner, Anuj Yadav, applied for regular bail in a case registered under sections 126(2), 115(2), 109(2), 352, 351(2), 351(3) and 3(5) of the Bihar Penal Code, alleging that he assaulted an informant with a single blow of an iron rod causing only simple injury. The prosecution opposed bail, highlighting five prior criminal antecedents. The petitioner’s counsel argued innocence, the single nature of the blow, and the simple injury, also noting that the petitioner had been in judicial custody since 13‑12‑2025. After hearing both sides, the court considered the facts, the nature of the injury, and the petitioner’s custody, and decided to grant regular bail. The bail was conditioned on a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of the same amount, subject to the satisfaction of the Sub‑Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Aurangabad.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to regular bail despite charges under multiple sections of the Bihar Penal Code and prior criminal antecedents.
- Whether the fact that the alleged assault involved a single blow causing only simple injury warrants grant of bail.
- Whether the duration of the petitioner’s pre‑trial custody justifies release on bail.
