Anticipatory bail granted (Patna High Court, CR. MISC. No.40634 of 2026, Satyavrat Verma, J., order dated 06-07-2026): Barun Kumar Sah @ Raghvendra Kumar Sah, apprehending arrest in Kharagpur P.S. Case No. 15 of 2026 (District Munger) concerning offences punishable under Sections 329(4), 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109, 351(2), 351(3), 352, 3(5) of the BNS, 2023, is in the event of his arrest or surrender within six weeks to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of the learned trial court where the case is pending/successor court, subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. Counsel had urged false implication, attribution of the grievous injury on Jay Shankar to co-accused Shyam rather than the petitioner, and that the petitioner's single alleged lathi blow caused a simple injury; the learned A.P.P. opposed the application. The application stands allowed.

Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the anticipatory bail application of the petitioners.

Considering the submissions and taking into consideration the fact that petitioner, the above-named, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court where the case is pending/successor court in connection
