No.4022 of 2025 Heard the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that this interlocutory application has been filed with a prayer for early hearing. Since hearing of this Anticipatory Bail Application is taken up today, hence, this interlocutory application is disposed of being infructuous. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) A.B.A. No.6516 of 2024 Apprehending their arrest in connection with Gidhour P.S. Case No.18 of 2024 instituted under Sections 147/148/149/341/323/354/452/504/ 427/307/506/325/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of Prevention of Witch (Daain) Practice Act, 2001, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners were member of an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of the assembly, attempted to murder Kanhaiya Yadav. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. Drawing attention of this court towards para- 13 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent. It is next submitted that there was a free fight between the parties and from the side of the petitioners, petitioner No.2 first lodged Gidhour P.S. Case No.85 of 2023 and as a counter-blast, as an afterthought, after an inordinate delay, the informant has filed complaint case No.134 of 2024 in the court of Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Chatra which upon being referred to police under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the FIR of this case has been registered. It is further submitted that the allegations are general and omnibus in nature. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co- operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl.P.P. appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.10,000/- each as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Chatra in connection with Gidhour P.S. Case No.18 of 2024 with the condition that they will co- operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish their mobile numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
