Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mukesh Kumar Thakur, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Umeshanand Pandit, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SOURENDRA PANDEY ORAL ORDER 2 18-05-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State through virtual mode. 2. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Agiaon(G) P.S. Case No. 152 of 2025 registered for the offences under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 125(A), 125(b), 109(1), 352, 351(2), 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 3. The allegation against the petitioner is that he had fired upon the informant’s side, however, the shot allegedly missed the informant and others and it hit a passerby, namely, Munni Devi, on her chest, who subsequently died during the course of treatment. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and from a reading of the FIR, it would be evident that although the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33441 of 2026(2) dt.18-05-2026 2/3 petitioner is alleged to have fired upon the informant’s side, but none of the informant’s side sustained any injury and the firearm injury was received by a passerby, namely Munni Devi. It has further been submitted that though there is allegation of repeated firing, however, only one cartridge has been recovered by the police from the place of occurrence. It has next been submitted that the co-accused persons, namely Ram Sighasan Singh and Gaurav Kumar, have already been granted anticipatory bail by this Hon’ble Court. 5. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submitted that it was the petitioner who had fired upon the informant’s side, however, the shot missed the target and it hit the passerby, namely Munni Devi. It has been submitted that the petitioner cannot be absolved of the allegation that it was he who had fired from the said pistol and therefore, he does not deserve the privilege of anticipatory bail. 6. Considering the aforesaid submissions and taking into account that there is specific allegation against the petitioner of having fired the shot which hit the passerby, namely Munni Devi, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33441 of 2026(2) dt.18-05-2026 3/3 rejected. 8. However, the petitioner shall be at liberty to approach the learned Trial Court, which shall consider any prayer for regular bail on its own merits, without being prejudiced by the rejection of the anticipatory bail application and if possible, the same shall be disposed of on the very same day. 9. It is made clear that the observation, if any, made in this order, shall be of no bearing during the trial. manoj/ayushkr- (Sourendra Pandey, J) U T
