Md. Mushtaque Alam, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR VERMA ORAL ORDER 02-04-2026 Heard Mr. Pramod Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner and Md. Mushtaque Alam, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.
2. Petitioner seeks bail who is in custody since 05.10.2024 in connection with S.T. No. 163 of 2025 arising out of Bhawanipur P.S. Case No. 100 of 2024, F.I.R. dated 19.05.2024 for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 341, 342, 323, 379, 427, 504, 506, 34 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.
3. According to prosecution case, over a petty dispute this petitioner along with other accused persons armed with deadly weapons have brutally assaulted the informant and her family members and this petitioner has fired upon the informant's husband due to which he received fire arm injury on his chest.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9883 of 2026(3) dt.02-04-2026 2/2 petitioner has clean antecedent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. The allegation as alleged in the FIR is false and fabricated and the petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR.
5. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that from perusal of the FIR it appears that there is direct and specific allegation of firing attributed against the petitioner and apart from the aforesaid, the report of the learned Trial Court reveals that out of nine witnesses, six witnesses have already been examined.
6. Considering the nature of allegation as well as report of the learned Trial Court, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with S. Tr. No. 163 of 2025 arising out of Bhawanipur P.S. Case No. 100 of 2024 pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge XII, Purnea.
7. Prayer is refused.
8. However, learned Trial Court is directed to expedite and conclude the trial at the earliest.
