Mr. Shyam Kumar Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SHAILENDRA SINGH ORAL ORDER 29-07-2026 Heard the parties.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Chenari P.S. Case No. 139 of 2026 dated 31.03.2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 105, 106(1), 61(2) & 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the death of the deceased took place due to electric shock while he was repairing a particular transformer owing to the sudden supply of electric current and the informant simply suspected this petitioner and others of hatching a conspiracy to kill her husband. In fact, the petitioner, being a manavbal and working in the Electricity Department, was posted at the Chenari SubStation of the Electricity Department and it was not possible for him to either switch off or switch on the electricity supply, as the same is under the control of the Junior Engineer at the main power house situated at Sasaram. It is further submitted that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.49217 of 2026(2) dt.29-07-2026 2/2 petitioner had no reason to enter into a conspiracy to kill the deceased, as there was no dispute in between them and no any litigation was pending in between them during the alleged time and the petitioner bears no criminal antecedent.

4. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer of the petitioner.

5. Considering the above submissions and mainly the fact that the informant simply suspected the petitioner of having conspired with the co-accused persons to kill her husband and it is an admitted fact that the deceased died due to electric shock while repairing a transformer, coupled with petitioner's fair and clean antecedent, this Court is inclined to grant the relief of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, let the petitioner named-above, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Court concerned in connection with Chenari P.S. Case No. 139 of 2026, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. (Shailendra Singh, J) annu/- U
