4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation of assault is against other persons. No specific allegation has been levelled against the petitioner that he has assaulted any other person. From perusal of the Annexure-2 which has been brought on record by the petitioner, there are three injury reports which are of one Virendra Chaudhary, Panpati Devi and Chhotu Lal respectively. All injuries are simple in nature. It has been stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner that contrary to the assertion made in the FIR, no injury report has been brought on record of Rajdeo Chaudhary confirming that he has a fractured hand caused due to the assault made by the petitioner.

It has been specifically stated in para 10 of the petition that the allegation on petitioner of assaulting Rajdeo Chaudhary cannot be proved as there is no injury to substantiate such claim. There is also delay of two days in lodging of the FIR without giving any proper reason for the said delay which creates doubt on the prosecution story. The petitioner has clean antecedent and is in custody since 29.12.2024.

5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the bail application of the petitioner.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances,

Patna High Court CR. MISC.
