Shankar Shah vs State of Bihar — 215/2026

The court rejected the bail application of 70-year-old Shankar Sah, accused under Section 140(3) BNS 2023 (grave offense), finding prima facie materials suggesting his possible involvement with premises where the alleged missing victim was located. The court held that despite his age and claim of innocence, the serious nature of accusations and connection to the victim's location warrant continued judicial custody, though he may apply afresh after charge-sheet filing or material change in circumstances.
