1. Heard Senior Counsel Y.C. Verma for the petitioner as well as learned APP for the State. 2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Nawada Cyber P.S. Case no. 23 of 2025 registered under Sections 303(2) [379 IPC], 318(2), 318(4) [420 IPC], 338 [467 IPC], 319(2) [419 IPC], 336(2), 336(3) [468 IPC], 340(2) [471 IPC], 111 and Section 61(2) [120B IPC] of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. 3. The allegation in the first information is that the informant, who happens to be the father of the petitioner, lodged a written report before the Cyber Cell stating that his son is committing some fraud in getting dealership to petrol pumps. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the entire first information report, but for the fact that a vague
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.68724 of 2025(2) dt.26-09-2025 2/3 allegation has been made against the petitioner by his own father, no substantive material has been shown to connect the petitioner to any crime, much less a cyber offence, and all the passbooks and cheque books whatsoever that have been recovered, stands in the name of the petitioner himself. The said recovery made from the house of the petitioner behind his back does not indicate any such material which shows some serious connection with any cyber fraud. The bail rejection order of the petitioner also does not indicate any specific material against the petitioner but for some vague allegations and the existence of one criminal antecedent in which he is on bail. The petitioner undertakes to cooperate in the case/trial. 5. The application for anticipatory bail is opposed by learned A.P.P. for the State. 6.
Taking into consideration the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and also considering that neither the first information report nor the bail rejection order has shown any substantive material against the petitioner to show his involvement in any cyber fraud but for some vague allegations, let the above named petitioner, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks, be released on anticipatory bail in connection with
