3. On account of a dispute arisen due to fixing of the roof, the accused persons including the petitioners who were variously armed with iron-rod and other weapons came there and brutally assaulted the informant and others.

4. Learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.85295 of 2025(2) dt.24-12-2025 2/3 petitioner taking this Court through the FIR contended that save and except the petitioner is said to be a member of the mob, there is no allegation of any overt act leading to any injury. Moreover, co-accused Nitish Kumar and Priti Singh are not before this Court against whom there are specific accusation. In fact, on account of a land dispute the parties have entered into a free-fight resulting into injuries to the persons of both the sides and institution of case and counter case bearing Chautham P.S. Case No. 198 of 2025, which is certainly on earlier point of time. The prayer for bail of the petitioner is negated only on account of the reason of having a criminal antecedent as has been disclosed in paragraph no. 3 of the bail application. The petitioner 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 pre-arrest bail application and submits that the petitioner has actively participated in the crime.

Regard being had to the submissions advanced by the learned Advocates for the respective parties and taking note of the nature of accusation, coupled with the counter case which is on earlier point of time besides the undertaking of the petitioner, let the petitioner, above-named, be released on bail,
