Mr. Binod Kumar No.3 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 28-03-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned APP for the State.

The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 325, 307, 504, 506 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners viciously assaulted the informant's side by means of several weapons due to which they sustained injuries. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.74542 of 2022(2) dt.28-03-2023 2/3 petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The allegation levelled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. There is a case and counter-case between the parties. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent, as also mentioned in para-3 of the bail application. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that there is specific allegation against the petitioner no.1 namely, Sunil Paswan to assault the informant due to which he sustained grievous injuries. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner no.1 on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on his behalf is hereby rejected.

However, there is general and omnibus allegation against the petitioner nos.2, 3, 4 and 5, let the above named petitioner nos.2. 3, 4 and 5, be released on bail, in the event of their 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) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned court below
