JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 2 12-03-2026 1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. 2. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Chakand Police Station Case No. 231 of 2025, dated 06.08.2025, disclosing offences punishable under Sections 191 (2)/191(3)/190/127(1)/115(2)/117(2)/118(1)/ 109/76/303(2) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 3. The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report, is that on 28.07.2025, at about 8 PM, the informant, along with her daughter-in-law was going to attend nature’s call and no sooner than they reached near the house of Kamta Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9357 of 2026(2) dt.12-03-2026 2/4 Yadav, the petitioner and other accused persons intercepted them, having iron rods, garasa, khanti, pistol, lathi, danda etc. in their hands. It has further been alleged that the accused persons started misbehaving and assaulting the informant and her daughter-in-law and the petitioner assaulted the informant with iron rod and butt of the pistol. The husband and son of the informant also sustained injuries due to the assault made by the accused persons. 4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and he has falsely been implicated in this case on account of the fact that both the parties are agnates, having previous dispute. Two of the co-accused, namely, Kunti Devi and Raj Kishore Yadav, have been granted anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court, vide order, dated 25.02.2026, passed in Criminal Misc. No. 9090 of 2026. Referring to the impugned order, learned Counsel submits that the injuries of three persons have been discussed, which are simple in nature and the injury allegedly sustained by the informant, Janak Devi, has not been discussed in the impugned order. As per the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9357 of 2026(2) dt.12-03-2026 3/4 allegation, the petitioner has allegedly assaulted the informant Janak Devi. The informant has not sustained any injury, as such, the same was not discussed in the impugned order. 5. Regards being had to the submissions advanced on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that both the parties are agnates having previous dispute, the injury sustained by the victims are simple in nature, from perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the informant has not sustained any injury and two of the co- accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail. 6. This application is, accordingly, allowed. 7. Let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-XII, Gaya Ji, in connection with Chakand Police Station Case No. 231 of 2025, subject to the condition laid down under Section 482 (2) Patna High Court CR.
