PATNA HIGH COURT
Prabhat Kumar Singh, J
Sudarshan Bind @ Sudarshan Bin – Appellant
Versus
The State of Bihar – Respondent
CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS No.48066 of 2025



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Mr. Niraj Kumar Singh
For the Respondents: Md. Mushtaque Alam, Mr. Shiv Prasad Gupta

The Court grants anticipatory bail due to lack of specific accusations and contradictions in the prosecution's claims.

Headnote:In this case, the petitioners have sought anticipatory bail under various sections of the B.N.S. for a charge of assault leading to the uncle's death. The Court found the allegations general and non-specific, with contradictions present in the prosecution case based on medical evidence. Major findings included the acknowledgment of the right to bail based on the characteristics of the case, including previous bail granted to a similarly situated accused. The Court’s rationale hinged on the lack of specific involvement of the petitioners in the alleged crime, thus allowing the bail application.

Result: The petitioners' anticipatory bail was granted under specified terms.

CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER

3 02-12-2025 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners, learned APP appearing on behalf of the State and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant. 2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(2), 109, 352, 351(2), 3(5) and 103(1) of the B.N.S. .

3. The prosecution case, in brief, is that on the alleged date and time of occurrence, these petitioners, along with other accused persons, assaulted the uncle of the informant, namely Ajay Bind, by means of lathi, sword and knife with an intention to kill as a result of which, Ajay Bind fell down. It is further alleged that when the informant, Nitesh and others came to rescue, they were also assaulted by the accused persons. The uncle of informant died during course of treatment.

4. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. Allegation of assault is general and omnibus and no specific accusation of overt act has been alleged against these petitioners. F.I.R. stands falsified by the post mortem report. As per F.I.R., altogether, 15 named accused persons and 4 to 5 unknown persons assaulted the deceased by means of lathi and danda, however, in the post mortem report, doctor has found only one injury on the body of the deceased, which itself falsifies the entire prosecution case. There is case and counter-case. Moreover, similarly situated co-accused person, namely Jairam Bind , has already granted the privilege of anticipatory bail by this Hon’ble Court vide order dated 20.08.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 52975 of 2025. Petitioners claim clean antecedents.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, general and omnibus nature of accusation, case and counter-case, claim based on parity and clean antecedents of the petitioners, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners is allowed.

7. Accordingly, in the event of arrest/surrender within a period of eight weeks from today, let the above named petitioners be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M.- 1st, Ara, Bhojpur in connection with Sahpur P.S. Case No. 63 of 2025, subject to condition as laid down under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S. S..
