4. Learned Advocate for the petitioners referring to the F.I.R. contended that the informant has specifically alleged that the respective accused persons were armed with specific weapons, but it has not been disclosed with respect to the petitioners that they were armed with any weapon. Save and except the petitioners are said to be the member of the mob, there is no specific allegation of any overt act. There is counter version of the present case, being Rupauli P.S. Case No. 68 of 2025, instituted against the informant and others. In the present occurrence, though the son of the informant has sustained grievous injury, but it has not been specifically attributed against the petitioners. The petitioners are men of fair antecedent and undertake that they will fully cooperate in the proceeding of the court.
5. On the other hand, learned APP for the State vehemently opposes the bail application and submits that the informant and others have sustained injuries on account of the active participation of the petitioners and others.
6. Having considered the submissions advanced by the learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note of the factum of case and counter case, coupled with the omnibus nature of allegation, besides the fair antecedent of the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.81197 of 2025(2) dt.09-12-2025 3/3 petitioners, let the petitioners, named above, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the court below within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purnea in connection with Rupauli P.S. Case No. 67 of 2025, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 with the further condition that one of the bailors shall be the own/close relative of the petitioners.
