====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 2.

14-06-2017 At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that during pendency of the present application petitioner no. 3 has already been arrested. Hence, application, so far as petitioner no. 3 is concerned, is infructuous.

In that view of the matter, this application with regard to petitioner no. 3 above-named is dismissed as it has become infructuous.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. No one appears on behalf of the State.

The petitioners are seeking Anticipatory Bail in connection with Kutumba P.S. Case No. 106/2016 for the offences under Sections 341, 323, 325, 504, 506/34 of the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.15918 of 2017 (2) dt.14-06-2017 Indian Penal Code pending before learned A.C.J.M. - VII, Aurangabad.

The allegation, as contained in the First Information Report, would show that the petitioners indulged in assaulting the informant and others from his family and caused injuries to at least four members of the informant's family which are said to be simple in nature. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the dispute between the petitioner and informant arose out of a minor scuffle and the injuries are simple in nature, therefore, they should be granted Anticipatory Bail. Learned counsel submits that petitioners are ready to settle the dispute with the informant. Considering that there are allegations of active participation and assault causing injuries to as many as four members of family of the informant, I am not inclined to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected.
