Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State.
2.
This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Roh PS case no. 379 of 2024 dated 19.11.2024, disclosing offences punishable under Section 115(2) and other allied sections of the B.N.S. Act.
3.
The prosecution story, as per the First Information Report, is that on 19.11.2024, when the informant arrived for irrigating her field, she saw that petitioner no. 1 was releasing water from his field towards the field of the informant. On objection being made, the informant was assaulted and abused
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9561 of 2025(2) dt.06-03-2025 2/3 by the petitioners and when the family members of the informant intervened, they were also assaulted and abused by the petitioners.
4.
Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case on the issue of irrigating the field. Learned counsel further submits that a counter case has been lodged by the side of the petitioners baring Roh PS Case No. 382 of 2024. Referring to the injury report, learned counsel submits that injury caused to the informant is simple in nature.
5.
Regard being had to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that both parties are co-villagers, there is case and counter case between them and the injury caused to the informant is simple in nature, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
6.
This application is, accordingly, allowed.
7.
Let petitioners, abovenamed, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within six weeks, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M. 1st class, Nawadah in connection
