4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the present case. Both the parties were involved in dispute with respect to a passage, due to which, an altercation took place and both the sides entered into fierce fight and in the self-defence, petitioners may have caused some injury to the informant and his family members, without intention. Injuries sustained by the informant side have been opined by the doctor to be simple in nature. There is case and counter case between the parties. On these grounds, petitioners seek to be released on pre-arrest bail.
5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.
6. Considering the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, the fact that there is case and counter case between the parties. Both the parties were involved in dispute with respect to a passage, due to which, an altercation took place and both the sides entered into fierce fight and in the self-defence, petitioners may have caused some injury to the informant and his family members, without intention. Injuries sustained by the informant side have been opined by the doctor to be simple in nature. I am of the opinion that petitioners have,
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.89976 of 2025(2) dt.15-01-2026 3/3 prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.
