In Rajesh Kumar Singh vs. The State of Bihar through the Chief Secretary, Government of Bihar (2025), Supreme Court's Division Bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and Prashant Kumar Mishra passed a 4-page order dated July 30, 2025. The petitioner had challenged the 2-page long order dated July 4, 2025 in Rakesh Kumar vs. The State of Bihar (2025) passed by Justice Sourendra Pandey of the Patna High Court. Supreme Court's order reads:"In the event of arrest in connection with Crime No.166 of 2024 of Baligaon Police Station, Vaishali District, Bihar, the petitioner shall be released on bail on the appropriate terms and conditions as may be fixed by the Investigating Officer/Arresting Officer." The Court issued notice, returnable on September 12, 2025.
Justice Pandey's order reads: "This is the second anticipatory bail application preferred by the petitioner as stated in the bail petition and from perusal of Annexure-1, it transpires that the petitioner had earlier moved for anticipatory bail along with three other co-accused persons, however, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner had sought permission to withdraw the application for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, namely, Rakesh Kumar @ Lalu. 3. In view of the same, since this is the second anticipatory bail application and the earlier application had already been dismissed as withdrawn, I am not inclined to entertain this application. 4. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected." The case had arisen out of a P.S. case of 2024. The case was filed in the High Court on June 11, 2025 and registered on June 26, 2025.
