Vivekanad sharma @ Viveka kumar @ Bunty v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court (Shailendra Singh, J.), Criminal Miscellaneous No.35011 of 2026, decided 27-07-2026: anticipatory bail application of Vivekanad Sharma @ Viveka Kumar @ Bunty in Chowk P.S. Case No. 361/2025 (Sections 115(2), 126(2), 109, 352, 351(2), 3(5) BNS) rejected; petitioner alleged to have assaulted the informant, his grandmother, with a brick causing head injury; informant sustained simple injury; family land dispute stated as genesis; case under investigation; nature of allegation outweighed mitigating factors.
What did the court decide?
Notwithstanding that the informant sustained simple injury, the land dispute between family members is said to be the genesis of the occurrence and the parties are close relatives, the nature of the allegation — that the petitioner assaulted his own grandmother causing head injury to her — together with the fact that the case is under investigation, led the court to conclude he does not deserve anticipatory bail.
