Mr.Md. Fahimuddin, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER 11-05-2026 Heard Ms. Muskan Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Md. Fahimuddin, learned APP appearing on behalf of the State.
2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Kawakol P.S. Case No. 461/2025 offences alleged under sections 126(2), 115(2), 109, 329(3), 117(2), 74, 352, 351(2), 3(5) of BNS.
3. As per the allegation made in the FIR, the accused persons allegedly entered into the house of the informant over a partition dispute and assaulted the informant and his family members, wherein specific allegation has been made against the petitioner, Nawlesh Yadav, of assaulting the informant's wife with lathi causing fracture injury to her hand.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.14276 of 2026(4) dt.11-05-2026 2/3 the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case due to village party politics and longstanding land dispute between the parties. The present case is a counter blast of Complaint Case No. 1225 of 2025 instituted from the petitioner's side. Learned counsel further submitted the injuries sustained are simple in nature and one of the injuries relates to an old fracture. The petitioner has clean antecedent. On these grounds, the 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. Having heard the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties and having perused the allegation made in the F.I.R. and the material which has surfaced in course of investigation, it appears that the dispute between the parties arises out of longstanding land dispute. The present case is alleged to be a counter blast of Complaint Case No. 1225 of 2025 instituted from the side of the petitioner. The injury reports reveal that the injuries sustained are simple in nature and one of the injuries relates to an old fracture. Considering the aforesaid facts and the clean antecedent of the petitioner, false implication of the petitioner cannot be ruled out. I am of the opinion that the petitioner has, prima facie, made out a case to be released on
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.14276 of 2026(4) dt.11-05-2026 3/3 pre-arrest bail.
7. The learned District Court is directed to release the petitioner on anticipatory 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 District Court where the case is pending in connection with Kawakol P.S. Case No. 461/2025, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 482 of the BNSS//438(2) of the Cr.P.C.
8. The learned District Court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner, as stated in paragraph no. 3 of the bail application. If any other case is pending against the petitioner, as what has been stated in paragraph no. 3, this order will lose its force automatically. (Purnendu Singh, J) Ashishsingh/- U T
