: Mr. S.K. Shukla, A.P.P. ------ 03/ 25.06.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.P.P for the State.
2.
The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Garhwa P.S. Case No. 221 of 2026, for the alleged offences registered under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 109(1), 115(2), 126(2), 117(2), 118(1) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Garhwa.
3.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that there are case and counter case between the parties and petitioners are neighbours of the informant and while the petitioners were fencing their own land, the informant side has assaulted these petitioners. She submits that in the altercation, both the sides have received injuries. She next submits that general and omnibus allegations are there against these petitioners of making assault.
Learned A.P.P appearing for the State has opposed the
[2026:JHHC:18748] -2-
prayer and submits that the allegations are there of making assault upon the informant side.
5.
Considering that there are case and counter case between both the sides and both the sides have received injuries and from the FIR, it transpires that there are general and omnibus allegations against these petitioners of making assault and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to provide anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
6.
Accordingly, the petitioners, above named, are hereby
directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today, and in the event of their surrender/arrest, the petitioners, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Garhwa, in connection with Garhwa P.S. Case No. 221 of 2026, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
