Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.37036 of 2022(3) dt.06-12-2022 2/2 has submitted that petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. Specific allegation of assault is against Dhankhi Mahto who has given rod blow on the head of the informant. General and omnibus allegations have been levelled against the petitioners. Only with a view to save the skin from Goraul P.S. Case No. 66 of 2021, this false case has been lodged by the informant against these petitioners. Learned APP appearing for the State has opposed the prayer of Bail.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and in the facts and circumstances of the case as stated above, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within a period of four weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrender in connection with Goraul P.S. Case no. 163 of 2021, he will be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned CJM, Vaishali at Hajipur subject to the conditions as laid down under section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.
