1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.
2. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Neora Police Station Case No. 176 of 2025, dated 21.09.2025, disclosing offences punishable under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/352/109(1)/3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
3. The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report,
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.2329 of 2026(2) dt.28-01-2026 2/3 is that on 21.09.2025, in the evening, the petitioners, along with other co-accused persons, total eleven in numbers, armed with lathi, rod etc., arrived at the door of the informant and started making noise for not allowing them to remove the stone chips, which was lying in front of his house for the purpose of road construction. The petitioners and others assaulted the informant and his family members with lathi and iron rod, causing head injuries to them.
4. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that altogether 11 persons have been made accused in this case on the basis of general and omnibus allegation. The informant is a petty contractor in the Panchayat and stone chips was kept on the road, causing difficulty to the accused persons and some of the accused persons told the informant to remove the stone chips from the road, upon which a scuffle took place between the parties. A counter case has also been lodged by the side of the petitioners against the informant and others, bearing Neora Police Station Case No. 177 of 2025. Learned Counsel, referring to the impugned orders, submits that three persons sustained injuries, which are simple in nature and the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.2329 of 2026(2) dt.28-01-2026 3/3 nature of injury caused to the informant has been kept reserved.
5. Regards being had to the submissions advanced on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that both the parties are co-villagers, there is case and counter case and injuries sustained by the victims are simple in nature, I am inclined to grant the petitioners privilege of anticipatory bail.
6. This application is, accordingly, allowed.
7. Let the petitioners, above named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned 4th Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Danapur, in connection with Neora Police Station Case No. 176 of 2025, subject to the condition laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
