As per prosecution case, the allegation against the petitioner is that he along with other co-accused on motorcycle came to the house of informant and took him away near the river bridge where co-accused Ishullah caught the informant from behind and petitioner started to assault him by means of knife due to which he injured badly. After hearing the cry of informant, local people started to assemble and both the accused fled away on motorcycle. The injured was brought for treatment to Narkatiaganj Hospital from where he was referred to GMCH, Bettiah for better treatment. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.50455 of 2023(4) dt.14-09-2023 2/2 the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. He has falsely been implicated in the present case due to dirty village politics. From perusal of the injury report which is annexed as Annexure-P/2 to this petition, it appears that the injury sustained by the informant is simple in nature. A statement has been made in para 3 of the petition that petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is also submitted that petitioner has voluntarily surrendered on 04.03.2023 and since then he is languishing in judicial custody. Learned APP appearing for the State and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer for Bail.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case as well as period of custody, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail in connection with Mainatand P.S. Case No.32 of 2023 on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned J.M. 1st Class, Bettiah, West Champaran.
