Suraj Pandey vs state — 695/2026

Case Summary: 695/2026 - Suraj Pandey v. State Decision: The court rejected Suraj Pandey's interim bail application. The petitioner was accused of robbery, criminal intimidation, and assault (IPC sections 394, 323, 504, 506) in an incident on June 5, 2008, where he allegedly robbed ₹10,000 from the complainant and assaulted him. Court's Reasoning: While the court acknowledged Supreme Court precedent requiring prima facie evidence against an accused before bail denial, it found sufficient initial evidence in the FIR and witness statements establishing the petitioner's involvement in the offense. The court determined that adequate grounds existed to proceed with the case and that bail rejection did not violate personal liberty protections in cases with demonstrable prima facie evidence.
