4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that petitioners have been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant. It is next submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that the informant alleges that petitioners earlier had demanded extortion from him, but then no case came to be instituted. It is next submitted that it is not the case of the informant that petitioners assaulted him rather it is alleged that unknown accused persons came and assaulted him brutally.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the anticipatory bail application and submits that from perusal of the order impugned, it appears that the injury suffered by the informant has been opined to be grievous, which amply demonstrates that the informant was brutally assaulted. It is next submitted that there is specific allegation in the FIR that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.71859 of 2025(2) dt.16-10-2025 3/3 petitioners had demanded extortion from the informant and subsequently the occurrence was committed. It is next submitted that investigation in the case is continuing and if privilege of anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioners, the petitioners may abscond.
6. Considering the submissions made by the learned APP for the State, the Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
7. Accordingly, the instant anticipatory bail application stands rejected.
