The State of Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Suman Kumar Mishra, Adv.

For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Md. Ataur Rahman, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANSUL ORAL ORDER 13-05-2026 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Munger Muffasil P.S. Case No. 392 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 109, 303(2), 351(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 27 of Arms Act.

3. Allegation is with regard to cleaning and maintenance of the ghat for the purposes of Chatth Puja. One Kaltu Yadav fired upon the brother of the informant and Ashutosh Anand fell down. Pappu Yadav and Raj Yadav are alleged to have fired but that did not hit anybody. The allegation against the petitioner is of snatching the gold locket.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.29657 of 2026(3) dt.13-05-2026 2/3 petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. The allegation against the petitioner is of snatching the gold locket and he bears one criminal antecedent.

5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

6. Record would show that there is no allegation of firing against the petitioner, the only allegation is snatching of the gold chain. The matter relates to assault being made at a public place over a petty dispute. The presence of the petitioner would not be sufficient to implicate him in the case. The case seems to be over implication. Accordingly, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

7. Let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his/her arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of thirty days from the date of receipt of the order, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Munger in connection with Muffasil P.S. Case No. 392 of 2024 , subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure / Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.

8. It is made clear that any observation made herein is prima facie in nature and limited solely for the purpose of adjudication of the present bail application. Such observations shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case and shall not influence the trial or any other proceedings in any manner.
