====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 23-03-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State.

2. Petitioner apprehends arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 190, 191(2), 191(3), 126(2), 115(2), 109, 352, 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

3. Prosecution case, in brief, is that on 14.09.2024 at about 9 PM, co-accused Anish Paswan intruded on the private land of the informant and upon objection, all the F.I.R. named accused persons, including this petitioner, assaulted informant and when his son came to the rescue, he was also assaulted by the accused persons.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. As a matter of fact, on account of dispute over possession of land,

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.13757 of 2026(2) dt.23-03-2026 2/2 altercation took place in which both sides inflicted injuries on each other. Allegation of assault is general and omnibus. As per F.I.R., though five persons are alleged to have assaulted informant and his son but as per injury report, both of them sustained only one injury each which itself falsifies the prosecution story. Petitioner claims clean antecedent.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposed the bail application.

6. Considering backdrop of the case, nature of accusation, injury report and clean antecedent, this anticipatory bail is allowed and it is ordered that let the above named petitioner in the event of his arrest/surrender before the court below within a period of eight weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhojpur at Ara in connection with Barhara P. S. Case No. 271 of 2024, subject to condition as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
