2. Petitioner seeks bail who is in custody since 31.12.2025 in connection with Madhubani (Town) P.S. Case No. 608 of 2025, F.I.R. dated 25.12.2025 for the offences punishable under Sections 109, 117(2), 118(2), 352, 303(2), 351(3), 308(4) and 3(5) of the BNS, 2023.
3. According to prosecution case, all the accused persons including this petitioner armed with deadly weapons have abused and assaulted the informant due to which he has received injuries.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27312 of 2026(4) dt.08-07-2026 2/3 petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. It appears from the FIR that due to some petty dispute the present occurrence has taken place. Although the petitioner is named in the FIR but from perusal of the FIR it appears that there is no specific allegation of assault or overt act attributed against the petitioner. The only allegation against the petitioner is that he has snatched gold chain from the informant. The allegation of assault is against the co-accused person who has assaulted the informant due to which he has received injury but it appears from his injury report that the injury is simple in nature. He further submits that the police after investigation submitted the charge sheet against the petitioner. The petitioner is in custody since 31.12.2025.
5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner on the ground that petitioner carries six criminal antecedents other than the present one but fairly submits that he is on bail in all the pending matters.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned CJM,
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27312 of 2026(4) dt.08-07-2026 3/3 Madhubani in connection with Madhubani (Town) P.S. Case No. 608 of 2025, subject to the following conditions:- i.

iii. And further condition that the court below shall verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case at any stage it is found that the petitioner has concealed his criminal antecedent, the court below shall take step for cancellation of bail bond of the petitioner.
