The Patna Civil Court on Saturday, 27 June adjourned the anticipatory bail hearing of Faisal Khan — widely known as Khan Sir and director of Khan Global Studies — to 30 June, after granting the prosecution time to examine an updated case diary submitted by the Kadamkuan police. Khan Sir's interim protection from arrest remains in force until the next date of hearing.
What Happened in Court
During Saturday's proceedings, the Kadamkuan police placed the updated case diary before the court. The bench allowed three days for its examination before scheduling final arguments.
Advocate Arvind Kumar Mauar, appearing for Khan Sir, opposed further adjournments, arguing that government counsel had already received the case diary and that arguments could have concluded earlier. However, the Public Prosecutor and counsel representing Roshan Anand sought additional time to study the diary's contents and legal aspects. The court accepted their request and fixed 30 June as the next hearing date.
The bail applications of Khan Sir's two personal security guards — currently in judicial custody — are also listed for hearing on the same date.
What the Case Diary Reveals
According to the police case diary submitted before the court, investigators have reportedly concluded that the firing incident of 2 June was not an act of self-defence. Police have alleged that the shots were fired with intent to create panic, not to repel an attack.
Investigators also stated that Faisal Khan's name was added to the First Information Report (FIR) during the course of the investigation, rather than at its outset — a detail the defence is likely to contest.
Background: The 2 June Firing Incident
Violence allegedly broke out outside Khan Sir's coaching institute on 2 June. Initial allegations claimed that one of the security guards posted at the premises was severely assaulted, sustaining serious injuries. Khan Sir had accused individuals associated with Gyan Bindu Coaching, including Roshan Anand, of orchestrating the violence and attacking his coaching centre.
However, police investigations and CCTV footage reportedly did not support the initial allegations of firing by outsiders. Subsequent footage allegedly showed two of Khan Sir's own security guards discharging shots into the air. Based on this evidence, police arrested the two guards, who remain in custody.
Defence Stand and What Comes Next
The defence has maintained that Khan Sir has been falsely implicated and had no direct role in the firing. The prosecution, by contrast, is relying on the findings documented in the updated case diary to press its case.
The 30 June hearing will be critical: final arguments on the anticipatory bail plea, the security guards' bail applications, and the court's assessment of the case diary are all expected to converge on that date. The outcome will determine whether Khan Sir's interim arrest protection is formalised, extended, or withdrawn.
Point of View
The self-defence claim rejected in the case diary — a pattern that defence lawyers routinely flag as procedurally suspect. Yet the CCTV footage of guards firing into the air is a tangible evidentiary hurdle the defence must clear. What this case really tests is whether the legal system can separate the conduct of an accused's employees from the culpability of the principal himself. The 30 June hearing, with both the bail plea and the case diary under simultaneous scrutiny, will be the first real indicator of which way the court leans.
