Mr.Mohammed Arif, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 29-04-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State.
2. The petitioners apprehends their arrest in connection with Larjha Ghat, P.S.- Case no.56 of 2024, registered for the offence under Section 191(2), 191(3), 190, 115(2), 118(1), 109(1), 74, 303(3), 352, 351(2) and 3 of BNS and section 27 of Arms Act.
3. According to the prosecution case, on 06/11/2024 at approximately 07:30 A.M., eight named accused individuals, including the petitioners, arrived armed with weapons and set fire to a wooden house and other articles on the informant's
2/4 private land. It is further alleged that Anita Devi, Dholi Devi, and Radha Devi began abusing and assaulting the informant's mother. Arvind Yadav reportedly pushed her to the floor, while Rishi Kumar snatched a gold chain valued at 80,000.
₹ Additionally, it is alleged that Dharmveer Raut struck the informant's mother on the head with an iron rod, causing a head injury. When the informant attempted to flee, Laxmi Yadav allegedly opened fire at him, though he sustained no firearm injuries. Upon hearing the gunfire, local residents rushed to the scene, causing all the named accused to flee away.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence and they have falsely been implicated in this case. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that there exist a land dispute between the parties claiming possession and title over a piece of land which has led to altercation between the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioners next submits that the injury sustained by the informant is simple in nature and all the petitioners have clean antecedent.
5. The learned APP opposes the anticipatory bail application.
6. From the perusal of the record, it appears that there
3/4 exists a land dispute between the parties claiming possession and title over a piece of land which has led to altercation between the parties. The injury sustained by the informant is simple in nature. It, therefore, cannot be ruled out that the petitioners have been implicated for gaining traction in the land dispute case. All the petitioners have clean antecedent. Under these circumstances, I am inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
7. Accordingly, the petitioners above named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks, are directed to be released on anticipatory bail on their furnishing bail-bonds in the sum of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM-I, Rosera, Samastipur.in connection with Larjha Ghat, P.S.- Case no.56 of 2024 subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and with following conditions:
(i) the petitioners shall co-operate in the investigation/trial.
(ii) the learned Court would, however, verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners and in case it is found that
4/4 the petitioners have concealed their criminal antecedent, the Court below shall take step for cancellation of bail bond of the petitioners. However, it is expected that the verification process would be done expeditiously without causing any delay. (Alok Kumar Sinha, J) Prakash Narayan U T
