Allahabad High Court
RAHUL SINGHversusSTATE OF U.P.
- Decided

- RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA
Holding
The court granted bail to Rahul Singh, subject to bond, sureties and conditions.
Summary
Rahul Singh applied for bail in a criminal case (Crime No.32 of 2026) alleging offences under Sections 109(1), 351(2) and 352 of the B.N.S. He claimed he was falsely implicated along with his father, Rana Singh, and that only a general role of assault was assigned to him with no dangerous injury proven. The State argued that grievous injuries were inflicted by the applicant, but the medical report showed no bony injury on X‑ray and a fracture on CT scan not specifically linked to him. The court noted that the co‑accused Rana Singh, who has a history of twelve cases, had already been granted bail, while Rahul Singh had no prior criminal record and had been in custody since 13‑02‑2026. Since the charge sheet had been filed and further custodial interrogation was unnecessary, the court found no reason to keep him detained. Accordingly, the court granted bail subject to a personal bond, two sureties and standard conditions. The order also directed electronic transmission of the release order to the jail.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to Rahul Singh under Sections 109(1), 351(2) and 352 of the B.N.S. given the nature of the alleged offences and his lack of prior record
- Whether the medical evidence establishes a grievous injury sufficient to deny bail
- Whether continued custody is necessary after the charge sheet has been filed

Court No. - 72
HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and
perused the record.
2. The instant bail application has been filed with a prayer to release the
applicant on bail in Case Crime No.32 of 2026, under Sections 109(1),
351(2) and 352 of the B.N.S., Police Station- Chakiya, District- Chandauli,
during the pendency of the trial.
3. Learned counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant has been
falsely implicated in the present case along with his father. It is further
contended that only a general role of assault has been given to the applicant.
There is no injury sustained by the injured, which may be considered to be
dangerous to life. Similarly situated co-accused Rana Singh, father of the
applicant, has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated
01.04.2026 passed in Bail Application No.11088 of 2026. The applicant has
no criminal antecedents and is in jail since 13.02.2026.
4. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail and has contended that
grievous injuries have been inflicted upon the injured by the applicant. He,
however, does not dispute the fact that the case of the applicant is at par with
the co-accused Rana Singh, who has already been granted bail by this Court.
5. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the
parties.
6. A perusal of the entire material on record indicates that the injured was
examined in the Department of Radio-diagnosis & Imaging Institute of
Medical Sciences, B.H.U., Varanasi, and as per the X-ray report, no bony
injury was seen. The CT Scan examination, however, indicates a fracture in
the left orbito-frontal bone of the forehead, however, the specific head
injury, which has led to the fracture, has not been assigned to the applicant.
BAIL No. 14519 of 2026
2
Only a general role has been assigned to the applicant and the case of the
applicant is at par with that of co-accued Rana Singh. The co-accused Rana
Singh is stated to have a criminal history of twelve cases, whereas the
applicant has no criminal antecedents.
7. Taking into account the entire facts and circumstances of the case as also
the fact that the applicant is in jail since 13.02.2026 and is no longer required
for custodial interrogation as the charge sheet has already been submitted,
and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it
appropriate to grant bail to the applicant.
8. Let the applicant - Rahul Singh, involved in the aforementioned crime be
released on bail, on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in
the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Court concerned, subject to the
following conditions:
i. The applicant will not tamper with the evidence.
ii. The applicant will not indulge in any criminal activity.
iii. The applicant will not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses
and co-operate in the trial.
iv. The applicant will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the
trial Court, unless his personal appearance is exempted by the Court
concerned.
9. In the event of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the Court below
will be at liberty to proceed to cancel his/her bail.
10. It is made clear that the applicant shall be released on the basis of
computer generated copy of this order, downloaded from the official website
of High Court Allahabad and verified by the concerned counsel with the
undertaking that the certified copy will be filed within 15 days.
11. It is further directed that the trial court shall send the release order to the
concerned jail through Bail Order Management System (BOMS) to ensure
early release of the applicant.
