3. As per the allegation made in the FIR, the petitioners along with the other accused persons with a common intention to kill assaulted the brother of the informant. The specific allegation of assault is against petitioner no.1 (Pappu Manjhi @ Pappu Kumar @ Pappu Kumar Manjhi), who has assaulted by iron rod on the head of the brother of the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.10459 of 2025(3) dt.14-05-2025 2/3 informant.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent. They have been implicated just on false accusation. Petitioners have clean antecedent. No such incident has taken place and the petitioners have been made accused due to enmity.

5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners.

6. Having considered the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, perused the case diary, I find that the injury report shows that the injury is grievous in nature on the vital part of the body and the specific allegation of assault is against petitioner no.1 (Pappu Manjhi @ Pappu Kumar @ Pappu Kumar Manjhi), I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner no.1 on pre-arrest bail.

7. So far as petitioner no.2 (Shivanth Manjhi) is concerned, there is general and omnibus allegation against him, he is directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned district court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned ACJM 1st

8. The learned district court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners and if it is found that the petitioners are involved in some other cases as what has been stated in paragraph No.3 of the bail application, this order will automatically lose its force.
