Mr.Sanjay Kr. Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 30-09-2020 The present petition has been taken up for consideration through the mode of Video Conferencing in view of the prevailing situation on account of COVID-19 Pandemic. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Sanjay Kumar Singh, the learned A.P.P. for the State. This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Kotwa PS case no. 16 of 2020 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 354(B) and other allied sections of Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding the accused persons including the petitioner herein having arrived at the door of the house of the informant, armed with various weapons in their hand and had started abusing the cousin brother of the informant and on objection being raised by the members of the prosecution

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22687 of 2020(2) dt.30-09-2020 2/2 party, the petitioner is stated to have given tenguli blow on the head of Upendra Singh causing serious injuries to him, whereafter other accused persons had also assaulted the members of the prosecution party.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case and is having a clean antecedent. It is further submitted that a general and omnibus allegation has been levelled against all the accused persons. Per contra, the learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the fact that there is a direct allegation against the petitioner of having given tenguli blow on the head of one Upendra Singh, resulting in serious injuries being inflicted upon him, I do not find the present case to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail, hence the present petition stands dismissed.
