Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6175 of 2024(2) dt.20-02-2024 2/3 offence. No such occurrence as alleged have ever taken place.

Both the parties are neighbours. The injuries sustained by the injured are simple in nature, which is also evident from Annexure 2 & 3. There is inordinate and abnormal delay of four days in lodging the FIR without assigning any plausible and convincing reason for the said delay. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-3 of this application.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, as the injuries sustained by the injured are simple in nature, let the above named petitioners, be released on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned lower Court where the case is pending/successor Court in connection with Maner P.S.
