For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhyay, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANSUL ORAL ORDER 20-05-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State through video conferencing.

2. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Laukaha P.S. Case No. 102 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. No. 1367 of 2025, instituted for the offences under Sections 103(1) & 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

3. The allegation is that due to some relationship, the petitioner and co-accused Taufik Alam went to the informant's shop and killed her daughter by cutting her throat.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. Counsel points out that similarly situated coaccused namely, Md. Taufik Alam has been granted bail in Cr. Misc. No. 89134 of 2025, though, the bail has been granted on the confessional statement of this petitioner that Taufik Alam was only holding the deceased. Counsel further submits that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.34227 of 2026(2) dt.20-05-2026 2/2 petitioner is in custody since 15.07.2025, having no criminal antecedent.

5. Learned A.P.P for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.

6. At present, no difference can be made out between the role of the present petitioner and Md. Taufik Alam and thus, on the principles of parity, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

7. Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of S.D.J.M., Jhanjharpur, Madhubani, in connection with Laukaha P.S. Case No. 102 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. No. 1367 of 2025.

8. It is made clear that any observation made herein is prima facie in nature and limited solely for the purpose of adjudication of the present bail application. Such observations shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case and shall not influence the trial or any other proceedings in any manner.
