Mr. Pramod Kumar Verma, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER 30-07-2025 Heard Mr. Vishwa Ranjan Choudhary, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners; Mr. Ajit Kumar, learned APP appearing on behalf of the State and Mr. Pramod Kumar Verma, learned counsel for the Informant.
2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Meskaur P.S. Case No. 79 of 2025 registered under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 351(2), 352, 74, 303(2), 109, 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023.
3. As per the allegation made in the FIR, all the accused persons, including the petitioners, all of a sudden started assaulting the informant and her family members, due to
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.46807 of 2025(2) dt.30-07-2025 2/3 which, family members of the informant had sustained injury.
4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that petitioners are innocent and they have falsely been implicated in the present case. Learned counsel further submitted that there is case and counter case between the parties and the first case has been lodged by the petitioners bearing Meskaur P.S. Case No. 78 of 2025 against the informant and in self-defence, the petitioners may have caused some injury to the informant and her family members. On these grounds, the petitioners seek to be released on pre-arrest bail.
5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.
6. Considering the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, the fact that there is case and counter case between the parties and in self-defence, the petitioners may have caused some injury to the informant and her family members, I am of the opinion that petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.
7. The learned District Court is directed to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-

Case No. 79 of 2025, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
8. The learned District Court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners, as stated in paragraph no. 3 of the bail application. If any other case is pending against the petitioners, as what has been stated in paragraph no. 3, this order will lose its force automatically. (Purnendu Singh, J) Ashishsingh/- U T
