4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that all the accused persons named in the first information report are full brothers and during course of investigation, the Police has found the allegation against his four brothers to be not true. He further submits that the true fact is that the husband of the informant had taken Rs. 25,000/- as a loan from the co-accused persons for treatment of his ailing father, but, since he was not returning the said amount, the accused persons were regularly asking for refund of the said money and with a view to grab the said money, the present first information report has been lodged. The petitioner has got clean antecedent.
5. The learned APP for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
6. Having heard the rival submissions and after going through the record, it appears that other co-accused have been exonerated by the Police during course of investigation, however, the petitioner has not been exonerated. From perusal of the impugned order dated 07.11.2025 passed by the Learned Additional District and Sessions Judge-I, Saharsa, it would transpire that the injury suffered by the informant was on her right hand, which was fractured. Considering the facts and
