Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42812 of 2025(2) dt.16-07-2025 2/3 accused persons, including the petitioners, entered into the house of the informant with lathi, danda, iron rod and axe and assaulted her and her family members and snatched a gold chain and Rs.99,500/-. 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and they have falsely implicated in the present case. There is neither any specific allegation against the petitioners nor any case has been made out against them. The allegation leveled against the petitioners is general and omnibus in nature. The petitioners have clean antecedent. On these grounds, the petitioners seek to be released on pre-arrest bail. 5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail. 6.
Considering the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, having perused the allegation made in the FIR, I find that the allegation leveled against the petitioners is general and omnibus in nature, the petitioners having clean antecedent, I am of the opinion that the petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on anticipatory bail. 7. The learned District Court is directed to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail, in the event of their arrest or

If any other case is pending against the petitioners, as what has been stated in paragraph no. 3, this order will lose its force automatically. Ashishsingh/- (Purnendu Singh, J) U T
