4. Learned counsel for the appellants submits that the

Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.3589 of 2025(4) dt.12-03-2026 2/2 appellant has falsely been implicated in this case and no offence under the provisions of SC/ST Act is made out in this case as the appellant is not named in the FIR and no incriminating article has been recovered from his possession and therefore the application of the anticipatory bail is maintainable.

5. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer of the appellant.
