Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.2069 of 2020(2) dt.20-02-2021 2/2 The prosecution case, in brief, is that when the informant Shivchandra Sada was in the way, at that time, the appellant stopped him and made complaint why he is not doing his work on which the informant made complaint that the wages is not being paid properly to him. Thereafter, the appellant started to abuse to the informant denoting his caste name and also caused injury to him through bottle at his head.

Learned counsel for the appellant submits due to dirty village politics, the appellant has falsely been implicated in this case by the informant. The appellant has no criminal antecedent and is in custody since 07.06.2020.

Having considered the facts and the circumstances of the case, the impugned order dated 12.06.2020 is set aside and this appeal is allowed. The appellant, above named, is directed to be released 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 the Additional Sessions Judge-I-cum- Special Judge, SC/ST (POA) Act, Samastipur, in connection with Tajpur P.S.
