Versus

The State of Bihar Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Jitendra Kumar Bharti, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Rajesh Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 08-04-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Jale P.S. Case No. 78 of 2025, corresponding to G.R. No. 1429/2025 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 126(2), 127(2), 115(2), 118(1), 352, 3(5) of the B.N.S.

3. The allegation against the accused/petitioner is that he gave a blow of sharp cutting weapon to the informant.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. From bare perusal of FIR, it appears that there is no specific allegation of assault or overt act against the petitioner rather the allegation is general and omnibus. Petitioner has clean antecedent. However, the injury report

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.21112 of 2026(2) dt.08-04-2026 2/3 shows that the nature of injury is simple.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

6. Considering the fact that the injury is found to be simple in nature and petitioner claims clean antecedent. Under these circumstances, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

7. Let the petitioner, as named above, in the event of his arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate1, District- Darbhanga, in connection with Jale P.S Case No. 78 of 2025, corresponding to G.R. No. 1429/2025, subject to the conditions laid down under section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure/Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and subject to further condition that :- (i) the petitioner shall co-operate in the investigation/ trial.

(ii) the learned Court would, however, verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case it is found that the petitioner has concealed his criminal antecedent, the Court

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.21112 of 2026(2) dt.08-04-2026 3/3 below shall take step for cancellation of bail bond of the petitioner. However, it is expected that the verification process would be done expeditiously without causing any delay. (Alok Kumar Sinha, J) Ranjeet/- U T
