4. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. As a matter of fact, on account of land dispute between the parties, maar-peet took place in which both sides sustained injuries. There is case and counter-case. Injuries, allegedly caused by these petitioners, are simple in nature. From bare perusal of the F.I.R. it is apparent that there is absolutely no allegation of overt act against Petitioner No. 2.
5. On the other hand, learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners and submitted that petitioners are named in the F.I.R.. There is specific accusation that Petitioner No. 1 shot in leg of informant as a result of which informant sustained fire arm injury. Petitioners have got one criminal antecedent each.
6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, specific and direct nature of accusation and criminal antecedent of the petitioner, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to Petitioner No. 1 is rejected.
7. So far as Petitioner No. 2 is concerned, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, general and omnibus nature of accusation and case and counter-case, the prayer for
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.64878 of 2025(2) dt.17-09-2025 3/3 grant of anticipatory bail to Petitioner No. 2 is allowed.
