As per the allegation made in the F.I.R., petitioner no. 4, Upendra Ram, along with his sons and other family members, misbehaved with the informant and her mother-in- law. It is further alleged that, in an inebriated condition and with an intention to kill, he assaulted the informant’s mother-in-law, causing head injury. She was admitted to Sadar Hospital, where she received six stitches on her head, and was subsequently referred to another doctor for better treatment. 6. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and they have falsely been implicated in the case. The injury sustained by the informant’s mother-in-law is simple in nature. The petitioners have clean antecedent. 7. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. 8. Having heard the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, having perused the allegation made in the F.I.R. against petitioner nos. 1 and 3, in absence of specific allegation against them, the petitioner nos. 1 and 3 are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their arrest or Patna High Court CR.
