                   the      FIR       and       apprehending                their       arrest         in

                                            2/3




          assault was intended to cause death of informant

          and others. The alleged occurrence took place in

          the background of land dispute.

                       4. It is submitted by learned counsel that

          occurrence was free fight in nature, where both

          parties have received injuries and, therefore, it can

          be said safely that petitioners were not under

          intention to cause death of informant and other

          injured persons. It is submitted that for same set of

          occurrence, petitioners’ side also lodged a criminal

          case, which was lodged as Singhaul P.S. Case

          No.170 of 2025. It is submitted that the injuries as

          discussed through impugned order suggest prima

          facie that their nature are simple, which also prima

          facie negates the allegation that assault was made

          with intention to cause death. The petitioners

          claimed clean antecedent.

                       5. Learned APP opposed the prayer of bail.

                       6. In view of aforesaid factual submissions

          and by taking note of fact as the occurrence prima

          facie appears free fight in nature, where both

          parties have received injuries, coupled with the
         Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.10714 of 2026(2) dt.23-02-2026
                                                     3/3




                   fact that the nature of injuries prima facie appears

                   simple,        accordingly,             both     petitioners,   above-

                   named, are directed to be released on bail, in the

                   event of their arrest or surrender in the court

                   below within a period of four weeks, on furnishing
