2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Masaurhi P.S. Case No. 453 of 2019 , registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 504, 307 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The allegation against the petitioner is of causing assault over the head of informant's brother by means of spade on account of a dispute, as has arisen, when the brother of the informant was asking his due money from the petitioner.
4. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submitted that admittedly, the alleged occurrence took place on 13.06.2019 and the present FIR came to be instituted on 15.06.2019, however, the entire case falls to the ground for the simple reason that no injury report is available on record and the investigation is still pending. It is further contended that the reason for delay in
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.75993 of 2025(2) dt.27-11-2025 2/3 approaching this Court is the poor financial condition of the petitioner and when the police started chasing behind him, the petitioner has approached this Court. The petitioner has absolutely 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 vehemently opposed the bail application and submitted that the petitioner has been evading his arrest for the last five years and, as such, for this reason alone, the petitioner does not deserve pre arrest bail.
6. Having considered the submissions advanced by the learned Advocates for the respective parties and taking note of the fact that there is no injury report available on record, coupled with the fair antecedent as well as the genesis of the occurrence, let the petitioner abovenamed be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, upon furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned SDJM, Masaurhi, District Patna in connection with Masaurhi P.S. Case No. 453 of 2019, corresponding to GR No. 676 of 2019, subject to the
