During course of assault, co- accused Chhote Lal Singh and Mahesh Singh gave axe blow on the head of informant. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Patna High Court CR. MISC.

Similarly situated co-accused person, namely Poonam Devi, has already been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail by this Hon’ble Court vide order dated 13.02.2025 passed in Cr. Misc.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, general and omnibus nature of accusation, claim based on parity and clean antecedents of the petitioners, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to these petitioners is allowed. 7. Accordingly, let the above named petitioners, in the event of arrest/surrender within a period of eight weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Banka in connection with Amarpur P.S.
