5. There is allegation against all the named accused persons in the FIR as well as against unknown persons of having surrounded the informant and threatened for extortion of money. Specific allegation against the petitioner Dilip Patel is of taking the informant down from his motorcycle and specific allegation against Ram Janam Mukhiya is of assaulting with the butt of the pistol on the head of the informant. However, the injury report is reserved. Considering the fact that there is nothing on the record to suggest that any grievous injury was sustained by the informant and further giving the fact that both the petitioners have clean antecedents, I am inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

6. Let the petitioners, as named above, in the event of their arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, be enlarged on bail 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, East Champaran, Motihari in connection with Pakaridayal P.S. Case No. 493 of 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 :-

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.23131 of 2026(3) dt.06-05-2026 3/3 (i) The petitioners shall co-operate in the investigation/ trial.

(ii) The learned Court below would, however, verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners and in case it is found that 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) kundan/- U T
