On account of a dispute over partition in the family, co-accused Nilu Devi called upon the family members of her Naihar, including the petitioner, who brutally assaulted the informant and her family members. It is specifically alleged that this petitioner tore the clothes of the informant and snatched Rs.7000/-, besides the omnibus allegation.
4. Learned Advocate for the petitioner contended that the allegation of snatching money and disrobing the informant is
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.75729 of 2025(2) dt.27-11-2025 2/3 nothing but a concocted one. Moreover, the petitioner is nothing to do with the partition in the family of the informant's side. The alleged occurrence took place on 30.06.2024, but the present FIR came to be instituted on 03.07.2024, without there being any explanation for delay. Prima facie, the injury sustained to the injured persons also appears to be simple in nature, is the contention of the learned Advocate for the petitioner. The petitioner bears fair antecedent and he undertakes that he will fully cooperate in the proceeding of the Court.
5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State opposed the bail application.
6. Having considered the submissions advanced by the learned Advocate for the respective parties and considering the nature of accusation, coupled with the delay in lodging of the FIR as well as the fair antecedent of the petitioner, let the above named petitioner, be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-XV (East) Muzaffarpur in connection with Sakra P.S.
