11.09.2025 in connection with Khajauli P.S. Case No. 177 of 2025, F.I.R. dated 28.08.2025 for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 109 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita , 2023 and Section 27 of Arms Act .

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned C.J.M., Madhubani in connection with Khajauli P.S.
