4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that petitioners are innocent and they have falsely been implicated in the present case. Specific allegation is against the co-accused Md. Sabbir. General and omnibus allegations have been levelled against the petitioners. The petitioners have clean antecedent. On these grounds, the petitioners seek to be released on bail.

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

6. Considering the nature of allegation made in the FIR, as well as, the fact that general and omnibus allegations have been levelled against the petitioners, who are having clean antecedent, I am of the opinion that 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 four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Kishanganj in connection with Kishanganj Mahila P.S.

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
