4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner submitted that the petitioners are innocent and they have falsely been implicated in the present case. The informant is the agnate of the petitioners and the specific allegation of causing injury is against the petitioner no.1. The nature of injury is simple. A general and omnibus allegation has been levelled against the petitioner no.2 and an ornamental allegation has been levelled against the petitioner no.3 that she had stanched a sum of Rs.12000 from the informant's daughter-in-law. The petitioners have clean antecedent. On these grounds, the petitioners seek to be released on pre-arrest bail.

5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.

6. Having considered the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, having perused the FIR and the nature of injury, which is simple in nature and the petitioners are having clean antecedent, I am of the opinion that the petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

7. The learned District Court is directed to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.78498 of 2025(2) dt.03-12-2025 3/3 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 District Court where the case is pending in connection with Basantpur P.S. Case No. 471 of 2025, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S.

8. The learned District Court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners, as stated in paragraph no. 3 of the bail application. If any other case is pending against the petitioners, as what has been stated in paragraph no. 3, this order will lose its force automatically. (Purnendu Singh, J) Ashishsingh/- U T
