Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 15048 of 2026(2) dt.25-03-2026 2/3 of the informant, who sustained injuries but the injuries are simple in nature. Petitioners have clean antecedent and they seek to be released on pre-arrest bail.
5. Learned APP for the State 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, having perused the the FIR, I find that general and omnibus allegation has been levelled against the petitioner no.1 (Bharat Sahni), who 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 II, Siwan/concerned court, in connection with Basantpur PS Case No.421 of 2025, subject to conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of BNSS of 2023
7. The learned district court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner no.1 and if it is found that the petitioner is 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.
8. So far as petitioner no.2 (Bhuwali Sahni) is
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 15048 of 2026(2) dt.25-03-2026 3/3 concerned, he had assaulted on the hand of the informant by means of rod, causing her injuries and he also tried to outrage the modesty of the informant. I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner no.2 on pre-arrest bail.
9. The present bail application is accordingly disposed of.
