2.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Banka P.S. Case No. 293 of 2025 instituted for the offence under Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

3.

The prosecution case, in brief, is that on 07.07.2025 at about 3:00 P.M., while the informant was returning to his house from the residence of Bhola Yadav, the petitioner, namely, Kranti Yadav, allegedly fired at the informant with a country-made pistol, causing a gunshot injury to his chest.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.11425 of 2026(8) dt.13-07-2026 2/3 that the petitioner is in custody since 08.07.2025. Petitioner bears no criminal antecedents, as per disclosure made in paragraph No. 3 of the bail application.

5.

It has been further submitted by the petitioner's counsel that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case due to previous enmity and with an intention to wreak vengeance. It is submitted by petitioner's counsel that the alleged occurrence arose out of a minor altercation during which the informant sustained injuries, and the allegations against the petitioner are exaggerated and motivated. Learned counsel further submits that the informant was earlier arraigned as an accused in Complaint Case No. 486 of 2025 instituted from the petitioner's side under Sections 137(b) and 87 of the BNS and Section 27 of the Arms Act, which provides the motive for the present false implication. It is also submitted that the petitioner's daughter-in-law had previously instituted a case against the informant alleging that he had attempted to elope with her, and owing to the said dispute and the existing animosity between the parties, the present case has been maliciously instituted as a counterblast.
