Surendra Yadav @ Surendra Kumar @ Kuhur v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court, single Bench of Khatim Reza, J., Cr. Misc. No. 5720 of 2025 (decided 25-04-2025), arising out of Lutua P.S. Case No. 22 of 2023 dated 26.12.2023, District Gaya. Petitioner Surendra Yadav @ Surendra Kumar @ Kuhur sought bail for the second time (earlier rejection on merit on 26.07.2024 in Cr. Misc. No. 40361 of 2024) in a case involving IPC Sections 341, 323, 364(A), 385, 387, 504, 506, 120(B), Arms Act Section 25(1-b)a and U.A.P. Act Sections 10, 11, 13. Counsel argued no cogent material existed except the victim's Section 164 Cr.P.C. statement and that the petitioner was himself a victim. Court held that since the petitioner was named by the victim in the Section 164 Cr.P.C. statement, bail could not be reconsidered; prayer once again rejected. Trial Court directed to conclude trial within nine months; petitioner free to renew bail prayer if trial not concluded.
