On 18.11.2022, altercation took place between the informant who is a member of SC/ST community and accused persons. It is alleged that co-accused Sonu Sinha caught hold of the informant by his collar and all the two persons called him by his caste name. It is further alleged that the brother of the informant, Pradeep Ganjhu was also assaulted. It was submitted that the similarly situated co-accused have been granted bail by this court as well as by co-ordinate bench of this court and the case of the appellant stands on similar footing. Regard being had to the facts and circumstance of the case; I am inclined to extend the privilege of Anticipatory Bail to the appellant. He is directed to surrender before the court below within two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and learned court below on his surrender shall release him on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Twenty five Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge, SC/ST Act, Chatra in connection with Tandwa P.S.
