Mr.Madhura Nand Jha, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 19-05-2023 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Adhaura PS case no. 58 of 2022, registered for the offences punishable under Section 307 and other allied sections of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is regarding the petitioner having given an axe blow on the person of the informant, resulting in him sustaining injuries, when the petitioner was restrained from harvesting mustard crops.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case and is having a clean antecedent. The learned

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16185 of 2023(2) dt.19-05-2023 2/3 counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that there is no injury report on record of the case as the same has not been prepared, till date.

Per contra, the learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the materials available on record as also considering the fact that it is the specific averment of the petitioner that there is no injury report on record, I deem it fit and appropriate to admit the petitioners to the privilege of anticipatory bail, however subject to verification of the fact as to whether any injury report is on record of the case or not and as to whether the injury sustained by the informant is simple in nature or not, by the learned trial court.

Accordingly, the abovenamed petitioner, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order, is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of
