As per the prosecution case, on 14.10.2017 between 4-5 PM, when the informant was at home with her daughters and son-in-law, all the accused persons, including the petitioners, forcibly entered her house, some climbing to the roof, and began looting.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.17661 of 2026(2) dt.25-03-2026 2/3 accused attempted to attack the informant with a sword, which she narrowly escaped. The accused allegedly broke open a locker and a box, looting total of Rs.1,00,000/- along with ornaments. When nearby persons arrived upon hearing the alarm, they were also assaulted by the accused persons, who then fled from the place of occurrence.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that allegation against these petitioners appears general and omnibus in nature. It is further submitted that there is no specific allegation against these petitioners to assault informant as well as her family members and apart from that petitioners were not seen having any arms in their hands. It is submitted that similarly situated co-accused persons have already granted anticipatory bail from the learned Co-ordinate Bench of this Court through Cr. Misc. No. 73616 of 2018 dated 20.12.2018.
5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail application.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as allegation appears general and omnibus against these petitioners, who are men of clean antecedent. Accordingly, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
7. Let the petitioners, above named, be released on
