4. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6117 of 2026(3) dt.09-04-2026 2/3 behalf of the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence. Petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case on account of long standing land dispute between the parties. From bare perusal of the F.I.R. it is apparent that this petitioner is alleged to have assaulted informant with kick, fist and thrown her on the ground that thereafter, this petitioner, along with co-accused Shankar Mandal strangulated the husband of informant due to which he died, however, as per post mortem report, no visible external injuries were found on the person of the deceased, which itself negates the entire prosecution case. Petitioner claims clean antecedents.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, materials that have surfaced during investigation and clean antecedents of the petitioner, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is allowed.

7. Accordingly, in the event of arrest/surrender within a period of eight weeks from today, let the above named petitioner be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount
