Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence as alleged in the FIR and he has falsely been implicated in this case. There is no specific overt-act of assaulting against the petitioner. The specific allegation is attributed against co-accused Karan Sahni, Ghanshyam Sahani and Pawan Sahani who are said to have assaulted informant and his family members. Petitioner is merely an order giver. There is a case and counter case between both the parties. From the bare reading of the FIR, it appeared that alleged occurrence took place between the parties for property dispute and both parties are descendant of the same family. Partition Suit No. 400 of 2015 has been filed which is pending in the Court of Civil Judge, Senior Division-I, Darbhanga and copy of the same is annexed as Annexure-P/3 of the bail petition. It is further submitted that allegation of Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 63754 of 2025(2) dt.15-09-2025 3/4 committing offence under Section 74 of B.N.S is against the co- accused Karan Sahani, it is simply an ornamental which appears to be added in the FIR just to make out a case of serious nature. It is further submitted that in cases of civil dispute, facts are generally exaggerated to make the offence graver. Apart from that, petitioner bears criminal antecedent of two cases which was lodged earlier by same prosecution party and petitioner is on bail in one case and in another case matter has been settled and disposed in Lok Adalat on 11.04.2023. 5. The learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner and submits that petitioner is said to be an order giver and he cannot escape from the allegation made in the FIR. 6.
