2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 307, 337, 504, 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

3. The prosecution case as unfolded in the FIR is that the petitioner has assaulted the informant as also his brother Ratan Kumar and caused serious injuries to them.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it would be apparent from the reading of the FIR that a dispute had arisen in connection with Nal Jal Yojana and the occurrence took place on the spur of the moment. However, the injury reports of the injured persons would show that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.82445 of 2024(3) dt.03-07-2025 2/3 injuries are simple in nature and the same has also been stated in the bail rejection order. It is next submitted that the petitioner has one criminal antecedent as mentioned in para 3 of the bail application.

5. Learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the informant, however, oppose the prayer for anticipatory bail

6. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within four weeks, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned lower Court where the case is pending/successor Court in connection with Muffasil P.S. Case No. 197 of 2024, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C/ 482 (2) of the BNSS, 2023 and also to the following conditions that:

(I) One of the bailors shall be a family member or a close relative of the petitioner, who would give an affidavit giving genealogy as to how he is related with the petitioner. (II) The learned Court below shall verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case it is found that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.82445 of 2024(3) dt.03-07-2025 3/3 petitioner has concealed his criminal antecedent, the learned Court below shall take steps for cancellation of bail bonds of the petitioner. However, it is expected that the verification process would be done expeditiously without causing delay. (III) The petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer of the concerned Police Station at an interval of every 15 days till the investigation is concluded against him.
