On the given date and time of occurrence, while the informant was in her house, in the meanwhile, accused Raju Kumar and Vinod Paswan entered into her house in inebriated condition and tried to ravish her forcefully.

Learned Advocate for the petitioners, taking this Court through the materials available on record, contended that Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.36320 of 2026(2) dt.04-06-2026 3/4 this case is nothing but a counter blast to Bakhtiyarpur P.S. Case No.139 of 2026 and, in fact, it is the prosecution parties, who were the aggressor and because of the reason as has been disclosed in the FIR bearing Bakhtiyarpur P.S. Case No.139 of 2026, a free fight took place between two groups resulting into some unfortunate injuries. In the said incident, the persons of the petitioners’ side have also sustained injuries. It is further contended that injured Pappu Paswan, Rajul Paswan and Manjay Paswan received simple injury caused by hard and blunt substance. So far the opinion of injured Kameshwar Paswan is concerned, the same is still reserved and viscera report has not been placed on record. The petitioners are men of fair antecedents and they undertake that they will fully cooperate in the proceedings of the Court. 5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State vehemently opposed the bail application and submitted that because of the active participation of the petitioners, four persons have sustained serious injuries, besides there is allegation of molestation. 6. Having considered the submissions set forth by the learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note of the factum of case and counter case, coupled with the simple Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.36320 of 2026(2) dt.04-06-2026 4/4 nature of injury sustained by Pappu Paswan, Rajul Paswan and Manjay Paswan, besides the fair antecedent of the petitioners, let the above named petitioners, be released on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-III, Barh, District-Patna in connection with Bakhtiyarpur P.S.
