The petitioners have prayed for regular bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under sections 318 and 303 (2) of the BNS. 3. The case of the prosecution in short is that on 02.06.2025, while the informant was standing with his e- rickshaw, one lady and one male person arrived as passengers and he proceeded with them through Sariswa Road. During the journey, the male passenger asked him whether he consumed tobacco and thereafter, clapped three times, as a result of which the informant became unconscious. When he regained Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.10332 of 2026(2) dt.20-02-2026 2/3 consciousness, he found himself at G.M.C.H. The informant believes that the two unknown passengers had taken away his e- rickshaw and his Nokia keypad mobile phone after making him unconscious. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that from a perusal of the F.I.R. it is clear that the alleged occurrence took place on 02.06.2025 whereas the F.I.R. was lodged on 05.07.2025. It is further submitted that the names of the petitioners surfaced only on the basis of information given by a police informer and, save and except the alleged confessional statement, there is nothing against them. No recovery has been made and no Test Identification Parade (T.I.P.) was conducted.
