Heard the counsel for the parties.

The petitioner Nos. 1 and 3 seek bail in anticipation of their arrest in connection with Kanhauli P.S. Case No. 53 of 2020, dated 02.06.2020, instituted for the offences under Sections 341, 323, 325, 379, 504 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The petitioner Nos. 1 and 3 are said to have assaulted the informant and his daughter leading to injuries on their persons.

Regard being had to the specific accusation against petitioner No. 3/Raja Mahto @ Raja Kumar, this Court is not inclined to grant him anticipatory bail.

The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail of petitioner No. 3 is, accordingly, rejected.

However, if petitioner No. 3 surrenders before the Court below and seeks bail, the Court below shall consider the case on its own merits, without being prejudiced by the fact that the present anticipatory bail application with respect to him has not been entertained by this Court.
