Supreme Court stays bail rejection order by Justice Prabhat Kumar Singh

In Basar Ahmad @ Basar Ahmad Farooqui @ Basar Ahamad vs. The State of Bihar (2025), Supreme Court's Division Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadeva passed an order dated July 31, 2025, wherein it stayed the order dated March 25, 2025 by Justice Prabhat Kumar Singh of Patna High Court. Justice Singh's order reads: "Considering the specific and direct nature of accusation, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is rejected." 

The petitioner had approached the High Court apprehending his arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 64, 318(4), 61(2), 123 and 3(5) of the B.N.S. The prosecution had alleged that the petitioner had sexually abused the informant on the false promise of marriage and later on refused to solemnize marriage. 

Supreme Court's order reads:"In the meantime, there shall not be any arrest of the petitioner."
