Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.29809 of 2026(3) dt.21-07-2026 2/2 in absence of any evidence as it would appear from the content of the allegation made in the F.I.R. He also refers to supervision report in this regard. Petitioners have clean antecedent.

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

6. Having heard the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties and perused the allegation made in the F.I.R., I find that the petitioners are accused of committing an offence punishable under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. At this stage, the complicity of the petitioners in the alleged offence cannot be ruled out, as such, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on pre-arrest bail.

7. The petitioners may surrender before the learned District Court and seek regular bail.

8. The bail application stands disposed of.
