Case No. 79 of 2025 registered for the offence punishable under sections 127(1), 115(2), 303(2) and 3(5) of the BNS and Sections 3(i)(r), 3(i)(s) of the SC/ST

Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.3420 of 2025(3) dt.23-02-2026 2/3 Act whereby the prayer for anticipatory bail of the appellant has been rejected.

3. As per the prosecution story, the informant alleged that the accused persons took him to celebrate Holi but later, taking caste name, assault took place. Allegation is that Avnish Kumar and Ravnish Kumar gave knife blow while Vishal Kumar and Vicky Kumar gave iron rod blow causing injuries. As the locals arrived, he was shifted to the Primary Health Center and then to Sadar Hospital, Sitamarhi which led to the FIR.

4. Though learned counsel for the appellants submit that the injuries have been found to be simple in nature and to implicate them, taking the caste name theory has been incorporated, learned counsel representing the informant with the help of the photographs submits that they brutally assaulted the informant causing injuries.

5. Taking into account the aforesaid facts as also that the specific caste name has been taken and all the force have been assigned role and the same is supported by the injury that has been incorporated in the learned Sessions Judge order, in that background, this Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of bail to the appellants.
