Mr. Rajendra Singh Shastri, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HARISH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 25-11-2025 Heard Mr. Shreekant Vaidya, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Rajendra Singh Shastri, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Chhaurahi PS Case No. 99 of 2025, dated 21.08.2025, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 352, 351(2), 109(1) and 303(2) read with Section 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023.

3. The allegation against the petitioner is of causing assault over the back of head of the informant by means of sharp edged weapon, besides further allegation of snatching a motorcycle along with other accused persons.

4. Learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that the present case is nothing but a

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.74411 of 2025(2) dt.25-11-2025 2/3 counter blast to the Chhaurahi P.S. Case No. 96 of 2025. The alleged incident has taken place on 19.08.2025 at about 04:30 PM, however, the present FIR came to be instituted on 21.08.2025 after a delay of two days without any cogent explanation. The injury which is said to have been attributed to the petitioner is found to be simple in nature as is evident from the impugned order. The allegation of snatching a motorcycle is said to be frivolous and concocted. The petitioner bears fair antecedent.

5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State vehemently opposed the pre-arrest bail application and submitted that the corresponding injury to the allegation of assault clearly suggests the participation of the petitioner in crime.

6. Regard being had to the submissions advanced by the learned Advocates for the respective parties and considering the submission advanced that prior to the institution of the present case, the persons of the petitioner's side had already lodged Chhaurahi P.S. Case No. 96 of 2025, besides the simple nature of injury coupled with the fair antecedent of the petitioner, let the petitioner, above-named, be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below
