Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that this interlocutory application has been filed with a prayer to withdraw this anticipatory bail in respect of petitioner no.3 Rita Devi who has since been arrested. Accordingly, this anticipatory bail application has rejected as not pressed so far as the petitioner no.3 Rita Devi is concerned. Accordingly, this interlocutory application stands disposed.

A.B.A. No.7075 of 2024
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Pandu P.S. Case No.30 of 2023 instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 342, 323, 307 of the Indian Penal Code, 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 petitioner no.1 and 2 were member of an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of the assembly, attempted to murder the informant Vikash Singh. It is next
submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is then submitted that the allegation of assault is against Rita Devi. It is next submitted that for the selfsame occurrence, Rita Devi wife of the petitioner no.1 first lodged Pandu P.S. Case No.29 of 2023 and as a counterblast and afterthought, this false case has been foisted; half an hour thereafter. It is next submitted that the alleged injuries sustained are simple in nature. It is then submitted that the petitioners had no intention to kill anybody. It is also submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. 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 J.M.F.C., Palamau in connection with Pandu P.S. Case No.30 of 2023 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 they will not annoy or disturb the informant or his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
