Bail refused — Patna High Court, Criminal Miscellaneous No.24619 of 2025 (oral order dated 17-07-2025, Sourendra Pandey, J). The petitioner, Raja Kumar, sought regular bail in Puraini P.S. Case No. 209 of 2024 (Thana Puraini, District Madhepura) registered under Section 140(2) B.N.S. Prosecution case: the informant's eight-year-old grandson was kidnapped in daylight at pistol point from his school bus by unknown miscreants; per the APP, citing the case diary, the victim Mayank Ranjan was recovered on the basis of the petitioner's confessional statement, and the weapons and cartridges used were recovered on his confession. Counsel for the petitioner urged that he was not named in the FIR, no T.I.P. was conducted, he had one criminal antecedent, and he had been in custody since 30.10.2024. Taking into account the confessional statement leading to recovery of the child, the Court rejected bail. On the petitioner's complaint of ill-health and inadequate treatment in jail, the learned Court below was directed to ensure proper treatment and, if necessary, to send him to a bigger hospital where local treatment was unavailable.
