Mr.Aditya Narayan Singh.1, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 30-08-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioners undertakes to remove the defects within four weeks of resumption of normal court proceedings. In the eventuality of non-removal of defects within stipulated period, office will place the matter before the Bench. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Mofassil P.S. Case No.233 of 2020, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 353, 427, 379, 307 of the IPC and 27 of the Arms Act.

Allegedly, the FIR named accused persons including the petitioners are said to be involved in business of liquor and have pelted stones and made firing upon the police party with a view

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.23908 of 2022(2) dt.30-08-2022 2/2 to create disturbance in official duty. In the occurrence, some police officials sustained injuries. On search, liquor has been recovered from the spot.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case due to dirty village politics. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. No recovery has been made from the conscious physical possession of the petitioners. The allegation leveled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. It is submitted that the injuries are simple in nature. Petitioners have one criminal antecedent. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, since the petitioners are the member of syndicate involved in illegal business of liquor, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on their behalf is hereby rejected.

This application is accordingly dismissed.
