Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.31458 of 2023(2) dt.23-05-2023 2/3 river.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were not apprehended from the spot as such nothing was recovered from their conscious possession, even alleged recovery is from a place which is accessible to public at large and does not belong to the petitioners, it is further submitted petitioners came to be implicated by the villagers but then the FIR does not record the names of the villagers who disclosed the name of the petitioners which further creates doubt with regard with the veracity of the allegations as alleged in the FIR, when admittedly petitioners are persons with clean antecedent. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the petitioners above-named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned trial court within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 1,000/- (Rupees One Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court
