                       3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that

          appellant is a person with clean antecedent and the informant

          alleges that on 06.06.2025, the appellant booked tent and other

          articles on the occasion of his Grih-Pravesh and paid

          Rs.10,000/- by way of advance on 02.06.2025, further the

          appellant came to the shop on 03.06.2025 and started abusing by

          taking caste name and even threatened and pointed pistol at him.

                       4. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that

          appellant has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the

          informant. It is next submitted that a dispute arose with regard

          to the rate of the tent and other articles, which the appellant

          required for his grih-pravesh, as such an altercation took place

          hence the informant in anger instituted the instant case alleging

          that he was abused. It is further submitted that the FIR does not

          even remotely suggest that the occurrence was witnessed by any

          independent witnesses when it is being alleged that the

          occurrence took place at his shop.

                       5. Learned Special Public Prosecutor and the learned

          counsel appearing on behalf of the informant opposes the prayer

          for anticipatory bail.

                       6. Considering the submissions made by the learned

          counsel for the appellant, let the appellant, above named, in the
             Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.314 of 2026(3) dt.02-07-2026
                                                          3/3




                       event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below

                       within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of the

                       order, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of

                       Rs.5,000/- (rupees five thousand) with two sureties of the like

                       amount each to the satisfaction of the learned court below where

                       the case is pending in connection with the aforesaid case,

                       subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of

                       the BNSS.

                                    7. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and
