Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Brijmohan Das, Adv. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Mukesh Kumar Singh, Adv. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HARISH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 3 11-02-2026 Heard learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. 2. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Gehlaur P.S. Case No. 60 of 2025, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 109, Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.73540 of 2025(3) dt.11-02-2026 2/3 352 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 3. The accusation against the petitioners is of causing assault by means of lathi and danda to the husband and children of the informant, as a result of which all of them have sustained serious injuries. 4. Learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioners taking this Court through the FIR contended that a general and omnibus nature of allegation has been levelled against eleven named accused persons including the petitioners, ten in numbers, however, none of the injuries have been specifically attributed against any of the petitioners. The injuries which are allegedly sustained to the informant’s husband and her children are concerned, all of them have been found to be simple in nature, except one sustained upon Sanjay Manjhi. Though the said injury is said to be grievous in nature, but the same is caused by sharp cutting weapon which is not the case of the prosecution, is the contention of the learned Advocate for the petitioners. The petitioners are co-villagers and on account of previous enmity, entered into a free fight, resulting into some unfortunate injuries. The petitioner no. 2 bears one criminal antecedent, however he is on bail in the said case. Rest of the petitioners have fair antecedent. 5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.73540 of 2025(3) dt.11-02-2026 3/3 vehemently opposed the pre-arrest bail application and submits that the petitioners have actively participated in the crime, due to which four persons have sustained serious injuries. 6. Having considered the submissions advanced by learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note of the omnibus nature of allegation, coupled with the factum of case and counter case as well as the fair antecedent of the petitioners, except petitioner no. 2, who bears one criminal antecedent, however he is on bail, let the petitioners above named be released on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, upon furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Gaya in connection with Gehlaur P.S. Case No. 60 of 2025, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 with the further condition that one of the bailors shall be the own/close family members of the petitioners. supratim/- (Harish Kumar, J) U T
