3. As per the allegation made in the FIR, petitioners along with other accused persons, had assaulted the informant and his family members by means of several deadly weapons. Specific allegation is against co-accused Ranjit Sah that he had opened fire upon the informant.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the present case. No specific allegation of overt act has been levelled against the petitioners. There is case and counter case between the parties arising out of the same incidence. Petitioners and informant are co-villager. Due to land dispute, an altercation took place between the parties and in course of the same, the petitioners may have caused injury to the informant party in their self defence, without intention. On these grounds, petitioner seeks to be released on pre-arrest bail.

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

6. Considering the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, the fact that there is case and counter case between the parties. No specific allegation of overt act has been levelled against the petitioners. Due to land dispute, an

No.9665 of 2025(3) dt.12-05-2025 3/3 altercation took place between the parties and in course of the same, the petitioners may have caused injury to the informant party in their self defence, without intention. I am of the opinion that petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

7. The petitioners, above named, are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali, in connection with Jurawanpur P.S.

8. The learned District Court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners as stated in paragraph no. 3 of the bail application. If any other case is pending against the petitioners as what has been stated in paragraph no. 3, this order will lose its force automatically. (Purnendu Singh, J) Niraj/- U T
