02. In the present case, the petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Sultanganj P.S. Case No. 570 of 2025 registered for the alleged offences under Section 126(2), 115(2), 117(2), 109, 324(6), 351(3), 352, 3(5) of the BNS.
03. As per prosecution case, petitioner and other coaccused persons assaulted the husband of the informant, elder brother of the husband of the informant as well as the informant in the background of some family dispute, causing injuries to them.
04. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. The allegations are general and omnibus against all the accused persons and the specific allegation against this petitioner is that he
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.30209 of 2026(2) dt.08-05-2026 2/3 gave a javelin blow in the eyes of the brother-in-law of the informant but the injury report shows only an abrasion on the right side of the upper eyelid which is caused by hard and blunt substance and the nature of injury is stated to be simple. This falsifies the allegation that the petitioner gave a javelin blow to the brother-in-law of the informant. Learned counsel submits that even the injury report of the husband of the informant shows quite simple and superficial injuries which is abrasion of size 0.5cm x 0.5cm on the right hand's ring finger apart from another abrasion on left hand's thumb of size 0.5cm x 0.5cm which are caused by hard and blunt substance and are simple in nature. No injury was reported on the informant.
The injury report completely falsifies the allegation made on the petitioner and other coaccused persons. The informant is the own sister-in-law (bhabhi) of the petitioner and all of them reside under the same roof but the informant has forcibly captured a major portion of the house and for this reason dispute arose in the family and for this reason some scuffle and free fight took place but exaggerating the situation, the informant has lodged this case in order to pressurize the petitioner and other family members to concede to their demand. The petitioner has got no criminal antecedent.
05. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the submission made on behalf of the learned counsel for the petitioner.
