Mr. Ashok Kumar Jha, Advocate For the Opposite Party :

Mr. Ram Anurag Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA KUMAR ORAL ORDER 04-09-2025 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.P.P. for the State.

2. The petitioners seek bail, apprehending their arrest, in connection with Piar P.S. Case No. 206 of 2024, dated 07.12.2024, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 115, 126(2), 76, 303(2), 117,109, 351, 351(2), 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023.

3. As per allegation, the petitioners along with other co-accused were throwing household garbage on the land of the informant and on protest, she was assaulted by the petitioners on the head and they have also dragged her, making her halfnaked.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32742 of 2025(3) dt.04-09-2025 2/2 He further submits that the informant and petitioners' side are agnates and there is admitted land dispute between the parties and they have criminal antecedents.

5. However, learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer of the petitioners for bail submitting that the victim is a lady and she has received a head injury besides her arms having been broken, and hence, it is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. They may surrender and seek regular bail.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and particularly the fact that informant has received the head injury, the anticipatory bail application filed on behalf of the petitioners is rejected.

7. However, the petitioners are at liberty to surrender before learned Trial Court and file regular bail application, and in the eventuality of such surrender and filing of regular bail petition by the petitioners, learned Court below is requested to hear their bail petition on the same day without being prejudiced by order of this Court, whereby anticipatory bail petition of the petitioners was rejected.
