Learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. He next submits that petitioner No. 2 is the owner of the tractor and allegations are made that the said tractor was seized loaded with sand and pursuant to that 7-8 persons reached there and they have tried to [2026:JHHC:14472] -2- take away the said tractor and also assaulted the constable. He also submits that there are general and omnibus allegation. 4. Learned A.P.P appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the allegations are there of making assault upon the constable and the petitioner No. 2 is having two criminal antecedents of similar nature. 5. In view of the above and considering that the petitioner No. 2 is having two criminal antecedents of similar nature and further he happened to be the owner of the tractor in question and altercation took place due to releasing of the tractor in question from the custody of the police, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner No. 2, named above. As such, his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. 6. So far as petitioner No. 1 is concerned, there are general and omnibus allegations against 7-8 persons of making assault upon the constable, however, it is not clear that by whose blow, the injury has been received by the said constable and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner No. 1, above named. 7. Accordingly, the petitioner No. 1, named above, is directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today and in the event of his surrender / arrest, the petitioner No. 1 shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Godda, in connection with Godda Muffasil P.S.
