Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case and they have not made any assault, however, it is alleged that pursuant to the injury, received by the injured, he has succumbed to the injury. They next submit that there are general and omnibus allegations against all the accused persons. On these grounds, they submit that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioners. 5. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State and learned counsel appearing for the informant have jointly opposed the prayer and submit that the petitioners are also the assailants, which is clear from the bottom part of the FIR of the first page. On these grounds, they submit that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 6. Looking into the contents of the FIR, it transpires that there are allegations against all the accused persons of making assault upon the deceased due to that he has succumbed to the injury, however, [2026:JHHC:16816] -3- nothing specific has come against the female members. 7. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to all the petitioners in A.B.A. No. 1674 of 2026 and petitioner Nos. 1, 2 and 5 in A.B.A. No. 2151 of 2026, above named.

So far as petitioner Nos. 3, 4 and 6 in A.B.A. No. 2151 of 2026 are concerned, they are ladies and nothing specific has come against them of making assault at any point of time and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner Nos. 3, 4 and 6 in A.B.A. No. 2151 of 2026 only. 9. Accordingly, the petitioners, named above, are directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today and in the event of their surrender / arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Giridih, in connection with Saria P.S.
