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 Shahkund PS case no. 293 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 308, 379, 447, 504, 506/34 of Indian Penal Code.

The case of the prosecution in brief is that on 21.11.2019, the accused persons had a quarrel with the informant on the issue of irrigation of the field and when the informant had protested, the accused persons had assaulted the informant and his son as also his daughter.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 14727 of 2020(2) dt.08-07-2020 2/2 that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case and is having a clean antecedent. It is further submitted that the present case arises out of case and counter case and as far as the petitioner is concerned, there is no specific allegation of any sort of overt act as against her, hence she may be granted the privilege of anticipatory bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the fact that no specific allegation of any sort of overt act has been levelled against the petitioner herein and she is having a clean antecedent, I deem it fit and appropriate to admit the petitioner to the privilege of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the abovenamed petitioner, in the event of her 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 learned S.D.J.M., Bhagalpur in connection with Shahkund PS case no. 293 of 2019 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of Code of Criminal Procedure.
