As per the prosecution story, the informant alleged that due to property dispute, the accused persons armed variously came and the allegation is that he was assaulted by Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.57555 of 2026(2) dt.19-08-2026 2/5 Sunil Paswan on his head causing injury. When his son, Vikash came to rescue, Chotu Paswan gave lathi blow on the head. They repeatedly resort to the assault and on the earlier occasion also, the accused had injured them. The injured were shifted to the referral hospital in Sultanganj which followed the FIR. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that due to land dispute the exaggerated allegation has been made and the injury inflicted by Chotu to Vikash has been found to be simple in nature. Further, the submission is that without accepting the allegation and/or the outcome of the present petition in view of the fact that the informant’s side has alleged injuries, the petitioner nos. 2 to 5, jointly, on their own, would like to contribute Rs. 5,000/- towards the medical assistance through Demand Draft issued by the local State Bank of India/any Nationalized Bank branch to be submitted before the ‘NAZARAT’ of concerned Court to be handed over to the informant after checking the credentials. 5. Learned APP opposes the prayer submitting that so far as assault to the informant, Jayram Paswan by Sunil Paswan (petitioner no. 1) is concerned, the report shows that he was sent to the Radiology Center, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College & Hospital for the NCCT (non-contrast CT scan) of brain, and Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.57555 of 2026(2) dt.19-08-2026 3/5 thus, the allegation in the FIR matches with the injury that has been sustained by him. 6. Considering the submissions aforesaid and the role of the petitioner no. 1, Sunil Paswan, no relief can be extended to him. 7. In that background, the prayer for anticipatory bail with regard to petitioner no. 1, Sunil Paswan stands rejected. 8. So far as the petitioner nos. 2 to 5, namely, Bishnu Paswan, Anil Paswan, Chotu Paswan and Sanjeev Paswan are concerned, regarding allegation of Chotu Paswan, the injury on Vikash has been found to be simple in nature and regarding others omnibus allegation is/are there, in that background, this Court is inclined to extend them the privilege of anticipatory bail with conditions subject to payment of Rs. 5,000/- as undertaken by the learned counsel for the petitioners to be paid by Demand Draft of local State Bank of India branch/any Nationalized bank branch to be submitted to the Trial Court. 9.
