2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Daudpur P.S. Case No.150 of 2022, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 353, 323, 427, 307, 504, 506 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. Allegedly, the petitioners and other co-accused persons assaulted the police party who went to village Chhotki Kurwa for the investigation of Daudpur P.S. Case No.149 of 2022.
4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.84993 of 2023(2) dt.16-01-2024 2/2 allegation levelled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. There is no specific overt act against the petitioners. Petitioner no.1 has no criminal antecedent and petitioner no.2 has one criminal antecedent.
5. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.
6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case as well as considering the nature of offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on their behalf is hereby rejected.
7. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
8. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today and seek for regular bail, the learned Court below shall pass the order on the same day in accordance with law.
