Case No. 77 of 2025, registered for offences punishable under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 303(2) & 317(2) of BNS 2023. Allegation: petitioner and co-accused were caught red-handed by police while attempting to withdraw money using stolen ATM cards; a touchscreen mobile phone was recovered from the petitioner. Petitioner's counsel argued he is innocent with clean antecedents, that no ATM card was recovered from his possession (only a touch screen mobile set), and that co-accused Ajit Kumar, from whose possession two ATM cards were recovered, had already been granted bail, placing the petitioner on better footing. Considering these facts, the court released the petitioner on bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned ACJM-XIV, Patna, subject to the condition that he cooperate in the disposal of trial and remain available as and when required by the court.
