3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner no. 1 has antecedent of one case and petitioner no. 2 has antecedent of two cases under the excise act and the informant alleges that house of petitioners was raised who are accused in connection with Bodh Gaya P.S. Case No. 466 of 2025 and petitioner no. 2 was arrested when accused persons
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.85818 of 2025(2) dt.02-02-2026 2/3 including the petitioner no. 1 formed an unlawful assembly and assaulted the police force and freed petitioner no. 2 and Amar assaulted constable Hareram by lathi causing injury on finger and Abhijeet assaulted S.I. Sunil by fist causing injury on lips, further S.I. Laltun also got injured in the occurrence.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant since they were involved earlier in cases relating to excise. It is also submitted that even petitioners were not present at the place of occurrence and when the police force reached, the force started acting inappropriately with the family members of the petitioners on account of which an altercation took place. It is also submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that specific allegation of assaulting the police personnel is against Amar and Abhijeet, but then they also came to be implicated only with a view to coerce the petitioners into submission. It is also submitted that once an accused is implicated in a case relating to excise, the police starts implicating mechanically without holding a proper investigation. It is also submitted that Rajmanti Kumari got privilege of anticipatory bail by an order dated 27.11.2025 in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 76783 of 2025.
