6. This Court has considered the rival submissions and perused the record. The petitioner has been arrayed as an accused in connection with offences under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(2), 109, 351(2), 352 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The gravamen of the accusation is that the petitioner inflicted stab injuries upon the informant and one Shiv Shankar Mahto. However, a perusal of the injury report placed on record reveals that the injuries sustained by the victims have been opined to be simple in nature by the examining medical officer. The nature of the injuries, as assessed and certified, does not suggest any grievous or lifethreatening harm, which is a relevant factor to be weighed while considering the question of bail.

Furthermore, the petitioner is stated to have no prior criminal antecedents, and nothing to the contrary has been brought to the notice of this Court by learned Additional Public Prosecutor. The petitioner has been in custody since 13.04.2026 and has thus undergone a period of incarceration of over six weeks as an undertrial. This Court is mindful that the power to grant bail must be exercised judiciously, balancing the liberty of the individual against the interests of the State and the requirements of a fair trial.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.36922 of 2026(2) dt.27-05-2026 3/3 injuries, the clean antecedents of the petitioner, and the period already spent in custody, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
