This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of M.H. Nagar Police Station Case No. 12 of 2026, dated 11.01.2026, disclosing offences under Sections 126(2)/115(2)/109/118(1)/351(2)/352/3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. 3. The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report, is that the informant has alleged that some of the co- villagers were trying to install a new transformer on the land of informant and when the informant protested, the petitioner, along with other accused persons, assaulted informant and his son with knife, lathi, etc. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24309 of 2026(2) dt.22-04-2026 2/3 petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and present FIR has been lodged as counter-blast to the FIR lodged by the petitioner against the informant, bearing M. H. Nagar Police Station Case No. 11 of 2026, for an occurrence which has taken place on 10.01.2026. The FIR lodged by the petitioner is prior in time to the present FIR. He next submits that in the FIR, there is allegation against the petitioner that he, along with other accused persons, assaulted the informant’s son by means of knife on his head, however, from perusal of the injury report, as mentioned in impugned order, it appears that informant has not sustained any injury and his son has not sustained injury on his head, but has sustained injury having lacerated wound on his chin and the injury has been opined as simple in nature. 5. 5. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that both the parties are co-villagers, case and counter-case is there and injury sustained by the victim is simple in nature, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail. 6. This application is, accordingly, allowed. Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24309 of 2026(2) dt.22-04-2026 3/3 7.
