As per the FIR, the informant has alleged that the accused persons who are his own family members including the father and brother have assaulted him. Further allegation is that while his father Bangali Ram gave a 'sword' blow on his head, his brother Sonu Kumar gave 'bhala' blow on his right hand.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.72551 of 2021(2) dt.26-05-2022 2/3 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the accused Bangali Ram has since been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail by a coordinate bench of this Court vide Cr. Misc. No. 44902 of 2021 on 12.4.2022.

Let the same be kept on record.

Considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 1.11.2021 (as stated in para-15 of the bail application), charge-sheet stands submitted, he has no criminal antecedent and the accused Bangali Ram against whom the allegation of giving sword blow on the vital part of the informant has since been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail, this Court is inclined to grant him the privilege of bail. Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Aurangabad, in connection with Aurangabad Town P.S.

(iii) he shall in no way try to induce or promise or threat the witnesses or tamper with the evidence, failing which the State shall be at liberty to take steps for cancellation of his bail bonds;

With the aforesaid observations, the bail application is allowed.
