1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.
2. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Karnamepur Police Station Case No. 03 of 2024, dated 30.04.2024, disclosing offences under Sections 147/148/149/341/323/325/307/354/427/504/506 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report, is that on 20.04.2024, when the co-accused Lakshman Yadav was prevented from erecting pillars on the informant's field a scuffle took place between them. In the meanwhile, all the co-accused persons, including the petitioner, variously armed arrived there and assaulted the informant, her father-in-law and other family members.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18690 of 2025(3) dt.15-05-2025 2/3 The petitioner assaulted the informant's father-in-law by means of iron-rod on his head due to which he sustained injury.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that both the parties are co-villagers and the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case due to land dispute. He next submits that a counter-case, bearing Karnamepur Police Station Case No. 04 of 2024, has been lodged by the side of the petitioner against the informant and others. He further submits that injury caused to the informant's father-in-law is simple in nature. The similarly situated co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 67025 of 2024.
5. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that both the parties are co-villagers having land dispute, the injury sustained by the victim is simple in nature and similarly situated co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.
