4. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. The present F.I.R. has been lodged after inordinate delay of 14 days and there is no plausible explanation for the same which itself makes the entire prosecution case doubtful. Injuries, allegedly caused by these petitioners, are simple in nature. Petitioners claim clean antecedents.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, delay in lodging of the F.I.R., nature of injuries sustained by the injured and clean antecedents of the petitioners, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners is allowed.
7. Accordingly, in the event of arrest/surrender within a period of eight weeks from today, let the above named petitioners be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M.-IIIrd, Bettiah, District- West Champaran in connection with Bairiya
