PATNA HIGH COURT
S. B. Pd. Singh, J
Chandan Singh @ Chandan Kumar @ Mallu – Appellant
Versus
The State of Bihar – Respondent
CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS No.87332 of 2025



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Ms. Rupa Kumari
For the Respondents: Ms. Pushpa Sinha 1, APP

The court grants anticipatory bail based on the absence of incriminating evidence linking the petitioner to the alleged crimes.

Headnote:The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in relation to charges under various sections of the BNS following alleged involvement with abandoned motorcycles. The applicant contends innocence as no incriminating evidence links him to the offenses and emphasizes a lack of knowledge about the motorcycles. The court, after considering the petitioner's clean antecedent, grants bail under specified conditions. The primary issue was whether the petitioner should be granted anticipatory bail, framed as the court examining the evidence and circumstances. The court reasoning underscores the lack of direct involvement and the petitioner’s prior clean record. The final ruling allows for anticipatory bail upon meeting specified conditions.
