3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that
Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.1099 of 2026(2) dt.08-05-2026 2/3 appellant has antecedent of two cases and is in custody since 14.01.2026 and the informant alleges that appellant on 10.02.2024 at 08:00 AM came to purchase straw, but an altercation took place on account of rate, thereafter appellant left abusing, further at 09:00 PM on the same day, Aman, Raman and appellant set ablaze the straw of her Bhabhi, Sangita, for which a case was instituted by Sangita in the police station, thereafter again the named accused persons including the appellant came and abused by caste name and threatened to withdraw the case, further on 11.02.2024, Male leader, Jai Shankar came to her house when named accused persons including the appellant came variously armed and attacked the house of Sangita and Rohit fired causing injury on leg of the informant and Shivam fired causing injury on stomach of her son, Shivam, while Ankit fired causing injury on leg of Manu, further when Jai Shankar tried to flee when appellant fired causing injury on his chest and repeated the fire causing injury on his leg.
4. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that appellant has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant, since a dispute had arisen with regard to rate of straw which the appellant intended to purchase. It is further submitted
Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.1099 of 2026(2) dt.08-05-2026 3/3 that though it is alleged that appellant fired causing firearm injury on chest of Jai Shankar, but then the injury report belies the said allegation as no injury on chest of Jai Shankar is recorded, but then it is fairly submitted that Jai Shankar received firearm injury on his leg.
5. Learned Special Public Prosecutor opposes the appeal and submits that appellant has antecedent of two cases and specific allegation against him is of firing causing injury to Jai Shankar. It is next submitted that if privilege of regular bail is granted, the appellant may abscond. It is also submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that informant, Shivam, Manu and Jai Shankar received firearm injury, which amply demonstrates the mindset of the accused persons.
6. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, the Court is not inclined to release the appellant on bail.
7. Accordingly, the instant appeal stands rejected. (Satyavrat Verma, J) Rishabh/- U T
