Case brief
What is this about?
Anticipatory bail rejected by Patna High Court (Anil Kumar Sinha, J) in CR. MISC. No.1981 of 2026 arising out of Malahi PS Case No. 274 of 2025, East Champaran; offences under Sections 317(5), 318(4), 336(2), 338, 336(3), 347(1) BNS 2023; allegations of purchasing stolen motorcycles, changing number plates and reselling at higher prices in connivance with arrested father/co-accused; petitioner's counsel pleaded false implication due to village politics, no recovery from conscious possession, only police witnesses, two excise antecedents.
What did the court decide?
In view of the nature and gravity of the allegations in the FIR — that the petitioner, in connivance with his arrested father/co-accused, purchased stolen motorcycles at low prices, changed their number plates and sold them at higher prices for wrongful gain — the court was not inclined to grant the petitioner the privilege of anticipatory bail.
