2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with ABP No. 799 of 2025, arising out of Mansi P.S. Case No. 122 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 127(2), 119(2), 325, 326(g), 352, 351(2)(3) and 109 of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 27 of the Arms Act.
3. As per the prosecution case, 11 accused persons, variously armed, came to the house of the informant and indulged in hurling abuses and scattering things and upon protest, it is stated that at the order of one Rajkumar Rai, the petitioner fired from his fire-arm upon them, but the bullet hit the cattle which died.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.54941 of 2025(2) dt.22-08-2025 2/3 the entire family of the petitioner has been made an accused in this case on account of a previous enmity and a land dispute between the parties. As a matter of fact, the present case has also been filed for putting pressure on the petitioner to compromise in the Mansi P.S. Case No. 290 of 2024, which was lodged by the petitioner against the husband of the informant and in that case one of the co-accused Rajkumar Rai was also injured. He next submits that no such occurrence has in fact taken place and a false allegation of firing causing the death of a cattle has been attributed to the petitioner.
5. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner and submits that petitioner carries two criminal antecedents, but the petitioner is on bail in both the cases.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as well as the submissions made on behalf of the parties and also taking into consideration the fact that despite the allegation, no injury has been caused to any family member of the informant and there is case and counter case between the parties, let the petitioner, above-named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court concerned
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.54941 of 2025(2) dt.22-08-2025 3/3 within a period of four weeks, be released on anticipatory bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khagaria, in connection with Mansi P.S.
