3. As per the allegation made in the FIR, the petitioners have committed forgery with the complainant of Rs.75,000/-, and had restrained him from the share from the proceed of sale of fish.
4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.21821 of 2025(2) dt.23-04-2025 2/3 petitioners submitted that petitioner no.1 is having valid Parwana, which is valid for the period 01.07.2024 to 30.06.2025. The complaint has been lodged on 07.02.2024. It is the case of the petitioners that petitioner no.1 has earlier lodged a case against the complainant, who had secretly taken out fish from the pond, which is settled in the name of petitioner no.1. Petitioners have clean antecedents.
5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.
6. Considering the nature of allegation made in the FIR, as well as, the very factum of the alleged oral agreement without any evidence, to the extent that the complainant has given a sum of Rs.75,000/- to the petitioners, cannot be sustained, I am of the opinion that petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.
7. The petitioners, above named, are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Rosera / Successor Court, Rosera, Samastipur in connection
