For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Uma Shankar Prasad Singh, APP (In CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS No. 20838 of 2026) For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Nafisu Zzoha, Adv. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Zainul Abedin, APP ======================================================
CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJIT KUMAR ORAL ORDER 3 19-05-2026 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State through virtual mode.
2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Kishanpur P.S. Case No. 192 of 2025, dated 20.09.2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 115, 109, 303(2), 76, 352, 351(2), 3(5) of BNS.
3. As per prosecution case, the informant alleges that despite having purchased the disputed land through registered sale deeds and regularly paying land revenue, on 16.06.2025 at about 8:00 A.M., while he was constructing a hut over the said land, all the accused persons, variously armed with lathi, sword, iron rod and firearms, arrived at the place of occurrence and assaulted him. It is alleged that the informant was strangulated with a towel and rendered unconscious. Thereafter, the accused persons also assaulted his wife Sona Devi and other family members, causing injuries, outrage of modesty and snatching of gold ornaments and cash of Rs. 5,000/-. It is further alleged that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.20545 of 2026(3) dt.19-05-2026 3/5 the accused persons also threatened to kill and bury the informant’s family members on the disputed land itself. On intervention of villagers, the injured persons were taken to the Government Hospital for treatment, leading to registration of the present F.I.R.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner (in Cr. Misc. No. 20545) submits that as per the allegation, the petitioner is said to have caused injuries on the back of the informant while the injury report which has been forwarded by the prosecution for
consideration does not support the prosecution story, as a fracture has been found on the right hand index finger and with regard to other (in Cr. Misc. No. 20838), learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there is nothing specific against any of the petitioners of any overt act, while allegations of snatching an amount to the tune of Rs. 5,000/- along with gold ornament are general and omnibus in nature.
5. Learned APP, on the other hand, after perusing the FIR and the materials which have been surfaced during the course of investigation does not controvert the submissions of
learned counsel for the petitioner.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances and that the allegation in respect of Pappu Kumar singh is not
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.20545 of 2026(3) dt.19-05-2026 4/5 corroborated with the injury report while in case of other petitioners, the allegation made is general and omnibus, this Court is inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
7. Let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his/her arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of thirty days from the date of receipt of the order, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Supaul in connection with Kishanpur P.S. Case No. 192 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure / Section 482(2) of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and with other following conditions:- (i) one of the bailors should be the family member/relative/known of the petitioner(s) who shall provide official document/personal affidavit to show his/her bona fide; (ii) the petitioner(s) shall appear on each and every date before the Trial Court and failure to do so for two consecutive dates without plausible reason will entail cancellation of his/her/their bail bond by the Trial Court itself; (iii) the petitioner(s) shall in no way try to induce or
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.20545 of 2026(3) dt.19-05-2026 5/5 promise or threat the witnesses or tamper with the evidences, failing which the State shall be at liberty to take steps for cancellation of the bail bonds; (iv) the petitioner(s) shall desist from committing any criminal offence again, failing which the State shall be at liberty to take steps for cancellation of their bail bonds.
