Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.78019 of 2025(2) dt.05-02-2026 2/3 three accused persons from police custody.

4. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. Petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case merely on suspicion. Similarly situated co-accused person, namely Radha Kumari, has already been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Hon'ble Court vide order dated 25.07.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 44249 of 2025. Petitioner No. 1 has got no criminal antecedent and Petitioner Nos. 2 and 3 have got one criminal antecedent in which they are already on bail.

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. with specific accusation that they, along with other accused persons, assaulted police party as a result of which several police personnel sustained injuries and also got released three apprehended accused persons and thus, created hindrance in discharge of their official duties. It is further submitted that Petitioner No. 2 is also accused in Raghopur P.S. Case No. 142 of 2024.

6. Considering the fact that as per F.I.R., these

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.78019 of 2025(2) dt.05-02-2026 3/3 petitioners assaulted the police party (enforcement agency) and have taken law in their hand, which is very serious in nature, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners is rejected.
