Ashok Kumar Ray @ Ashok Ray v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Ashok Kumar Ray @ Ashok Ray sought anticipatory bail in Patna High Court CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS No.40277 of 2025 (decided 01-09-2025 by Justice Satyavrat Verma) arising out of PS. Case No.-568 Year-2020, Complaint Case No. 568 of 2020, Thana-Rosera, District-Samastipur, for offences under Sections 406 and 420 IPC. Counsel submitted the petitioner had one prior case antecedent, that the complainant took a loan from the petitioner and, after a panchayati, returned Rs. 2,65,000/- (videographed), yet the petitioner disputed the loan and instituted a false case; the complainant himself allegedly admitted implicating the petitioner's case to save himself. The A.P.P. for the State opposed the prayer. The court allowed the application: release on anticipatory bail on arrest or surrender within six weeks, on bail bonds of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties of the like amount each, subject to Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. conditions.
