Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in the case and allegation is also false to the effect that the petitioners have tried to take away the tractors forcefully from the police personnel. He further submits that the allegations are there of injury upon the informant, who happens to be a police officer however, in the case diary, there is no injury. He next submits that the petitioners are having no criminal antecedent as disclosed in para 14 of the petition. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that the allegations are there of forcefully taking away the tractors from the custody of the police personnel. 2026:JHHC:20752 5. On query made by the court, learned counsel appearing for the State fairly submits that injury aspect is silent in the case diary and it has come in para 45 of the case diary that injury report is awaited. 6. Considering that in the FIR the allegations are there of injury however, case diary is silent on that aspect and the petitioners are having no criminal antecedent as disclosed in para 14 of the petition and there are general and omnibus allegation against 11 named and 40 unknown persons, in the attending facts and circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 7. Accordingly, the above-named petitioners are directed to surrender before the learned court within two weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrender, they shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond 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, Hazaribagh, in connection with Chalkusa P.S.
