3. As per the FIR, when the informant along with 14 police personnel went to arrest one Md. Taukir, who is an accused in other case, then the petitioners of present case assaulted the police party including the informant.

4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3380 of 2024(3) dt.16-04-2024 2/2 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 allegation levelled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. There is no specific overt act against the petitioners. Petitioners have no 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 petitioners 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 petitioners surrender 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 considering that the petitioners are ladies.
