The complainant lodged First Information Report for offence punishable under Section 296, 351(2), 115(2), 191(2), 333 of B.N.S., 2023. 3.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits the present accused/applicant is an innocent person and has been falsely implicated in the present case by the complainant, and therefore this Hon’ble Court may kindly consider the facts of the case and grant anticipatory bail to the applicant.

It is also submitted that the other co-accused persons have already been granted bail by the learned Court below and there is no material available on record connecting the present
3 applicant with the alleged offence. The applicant is about 24 years of age and his implication in the present case is wholly unjustified and appears to have been made with the intention of ruining his future. Therefore, it is prayed that the applicant may kindly be granted the benefit of anticipatory bail. 4. Learned State Counsel opposed the bail application and submitted that, as per the prosecution case, the complainant Jamuna Prasad Kesari lodged a report alleging that on the intervening night of 20.09.2025 at about 02:11 AM, the accused persons came to his house at Village Balangi by motorcycle and car, abused him and threatened to kill him and his family members.

Thereafter, when the complainant came out of his room, he found that his pant along with Rs. 23,000/- was missing. Therefore, considering the serious nature of the allegations, learned State Counsel prayed for rejection of the bail application. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature and gravity of the allegations and the material available on record, it appears that the complainant, Jamuna Prasad Kesari, has alleged that on the intervening night of 20.09.2025 at about 02:11 AM, the accused persons came to his house at Village Balangi by motorcycle and car, abused him and threatened to kill him and his family members.
