Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.638 of 2026(3) dt.03-04-2026 2/3 are co-villagers and due to hot talk between them, they indulged into fierce fight and as a result of heat of passion and spur of the moment, the petitioner may have caused some injury to the informant in his self defence without intention. As per the opinion of the doctor, the injury sustained by the informant is simple in nature.

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

6. Having heard the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, having perused the allegation made in the F.I.R. and the injury report, the petitioner may have caused some injury to the informant in his self defence without intention and as per the opinion of the doctor, the injury sustained by the informant is simple in nature, I find that the petitioner has, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

7. The petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Chapra, Saran in
