Holding
The court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
Summary
The petitioners, Amul Miya, Md. Zahid Miya and Md. Shane Ali, sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in connection with a criminal case (PS Case No. 205 of 2025) that alleged offences under several sections of the Bihar Penal Code, including hurt and assault. They contended that the incident occurred during a Panchayat meeting over a land dispute, was not intentional, resulted only in simple injuries, and that they have no prior criminal record. The State opposed the bail application. The court noted the nature of the alleged injuries, the lack of criminal antecedent, and the fact that co‑accused had already been granted anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners subject to a bond of Rs.20,000 with two sureties each, under Section 482(2) of the Bihar Criminal Procedure Code.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioners despite the charges under sections 191(2), 190, 126(2), 118(1), 117(2), 109, 303(2), 352 and 351(2) of the Bihar Penal Code.
- Whether the alleged act constitutes a serious offence warranting denial of bail.
- Whether the petitioners' clean antecedent and the simple nature of injuries justify anticipatory bail.

the alleged occurrence is said to have taken place but it is
clearly evident that the alleged occurrence of marpit was not
intentional, however, two co-accused persons, namely, Irshad
Ansari and Zubair Ansari against whom allegations of similar
nature have been made as against petitioner Md. Zahid Miya,
have been granted the relief of anticipatory bail by the trial court
but the petitioners' prayer has been rejected and further, the
injuries sustained by injured persons have been opined to be
simple in nature which shows that there was a simple marpit in
between both the parties. It is lastly submitted that all the
petitioners have no criminal antecedent.
4. Learned APP appearing for the State has opposed
the bail prayer of the petitioners.
5. In the facts and circumstances of this case and
considering the aforesaid submissions, the pleas taken by the
petitioners in their application coupled with the genesis of the
occurrence and the nature of injuries sustained by the injured
persons as stated above as well as the fair and clean antecedent
of the petitioners, this court is inclined to grant them the relief
of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, let the petitioners named-
above, in the event of their arrest/surrender before the learned
court below within a period of six weeks from today, be
