RAJU MAHTO vs State of Bihar — 1384/2026

The Sessions Judge rejected the anticipatory bail petition filed by Raju Mahto and Shivkanti Devi, who were accused of murdering the informant's daughter in a dowry-related case under the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The court found sufficient evidence in the FIR and case diary, including witness statements and recovered human remains, to support the charges, and deemed the gravity of the offense and ongoing investigation as grounds to deny pre-arrest bail despite the petitioners' lack of criminal antecedent.
