On 15.02.2023 at 4.30 p.m., appellants are alleged to have abused the Informant by calling her by her caste name. It further appears that they also insinuated that she was having relationship with one Priyanath Pathak Vidrohi. 4. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the occurrence has taken place due to the land dispute and the appellants have been falsely implicated in this case. 5. Mr. Ashok Kumar Jha, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondent No. 2, has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. 5. In view of the submissions made, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the appellant. Accordingly, appellant, above named, is directed to surrender before the learned court below within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and the learned court below on their surrender, shall release them on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees twenty-five thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-1-cum-Special Judge (SC/ST), Dumka in connection with S.C / S.T P.S.
