ANSHUMAN ORAL ORDER 3 06-05-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned A.P.P for the State and learned counsel for the informant. 2. The petitioner is apprehending arrest in connection with Nayagaon P.S. Case No. 156 of 2025 lodged on 23.08.2025, for the offence punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 109, 303(2), 351(2), 351(3), 352, 74 & 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the Court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Saran at Chapra. 3. As per the prosecution, FIR has been lodged against two named accused persons including the present petitioner. The allegation against the petitioner is that he has assaulted the informant’s husband by dabiya, due to which, injury has been caused. When the informant came to rescue her husband, then the petitioner has also assaulted the informant. Subsequently, the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16687 of 2026(3) dt.06-05-2026 2/3 informant’s husband referred to PMCH for treatment. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Counsel submits that the informant’s husband and the petitioner are full brothers. He submits that basically, they are four brothers and panchayati took place on 02.02.2025, but the said panchayati has not been obeyed by the informant due to which, scuffling took place between the parties and injury has been caused. He further submits that the petitioner is not a criminal and there is one criminal case pending against him, in which, he is on bail. Counsel submits that the petitioner is ready to fulfill all the conditions whatsoever shall be imposed upon him. 5. Learned counsel for the informant vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that it is true that the informant’s husband and the petitioner are full brothers and partition took place between them before the panchayati. But, due to non-fulfillment of the condition, the dispute has arisen. 6. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 7. In the light of the submissions made and from the injury report of the informant’s husband which has been attached with the case diary, it transpires that the injuries are Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16687 of 2026(3) dt.06-05-2026 3/3 grievous in nature. As such, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner stands rejected. 8. However, if petitioner surrenders before the concerned trial court within a period of 4 weeks from today then the trial court without being prejudice by the fact that the anticipatory bail of the petitioner has been rejected by this Court shall consider the case on merit and by way of taking undertaking from both the parties that the panchayati dated 02.02.2025 has been well respected by the parties i.e. on the part of the accused persons, the amount has to be paid and on the part of the informant, she has to leave the gharari (residential house). The trial court shall conciliate the matter and if the parties reached on the settlement, then the trial court shall grant bail to the petitioner imposing its own conditions.
