The allegation against the petitioners herein is assaulting the informant and snatching gold ornaments from her person. It is further alleged that the delay in filing the FIR had taken place since the husband of the informant works at Ludhiyana. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that no such occurrence as alleged has ever taken place, the date of occurrence is 09.8.2017, however, the FIR has been filed belatedly on 20.08.2017, hence the entire allegation is cooked up.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioners herein to the privilege of anticipatory bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, 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, Bikramganj, Rohtas in connection with Kachhwa P.S.
