The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable u/s 341, 323, 325, 308, 379, 504/34 of the IPC.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.63726 of 2022(2) dt.24-02-2023 2/3 politics. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The allegation leveled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. The specific allegation is against one Bullet Bhagat and Chhotan Bhagat, who assaulted the father of the informant and injury was found to be grievous in nature. For the alleged occurrence, there is case and counter-case between the parties and both sides have sustained injuries. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail by submitting that there is specific allegation against the petitioner no.2 to assault the father of informant.

Since there is specific allegation against petitioner no.2 named above, I am not inclined to enlarge him on anticipatory bail. The prayer for grant of bail on his behalf is rejected. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, since there is no specific overt act against petitioner no.1, let the above named petitioner no.1, be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned court below where the case is pending/Successor Court in connection
