Holding
Anticipatory bail was denied to the petitioners.
Summary
The petitioners, three brothers from Nalanda, sought anticipatory bail after an FIR was lodged alleging they entered a house with weapons and assaulted the occupants, causing head injuries. The prosecution alleged offences under several sections of the Indian Penal Code and section 76 of the Bihar Narcotic Substances Act, 2023. The petitioners argued that the FIR was exaggerated and that there was a dispute between the parties, contending that the allegations were not substantiated. The State highlighted the petitioners' prior criminal record and the seriousness of the injuries, asserting that the FIR was not merely a simple case. The court, noting the criminal antecedents and the gravity of the alleged offences, concluded that bail was not appropriate at this stage. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was rejected.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioners are entitled to anticipatory bail in view of the FIR alleging multiple serious offences
- Whether the existence of prior criminal antecedents precludes the grant of anticipatory bail

ORAL ORDER
2 04-02-2026 Heard Rajesh Kumar Divakar, learned counsel for the

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection
with Rahui P.S. Case No. 545 of 2025 for the offence registered
under sections 126(2), 115(2), 190, 191(2), 109(1), 352, 302(2),
76 of BNS, 2023.
3. As per the prosecution story, the informant alleged

were also assaulted. This led to the FIR.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that
omnibus allegation of assault has been made against the accused
persons and admittedly there is dispute between the parties and
in that background, the FIR has been exaggerated.
5. Learned APP on the other hand submits that not
only the two petitioners have criminal antecedent, the injury is
on the head and it has not been incorporated in the learned
Sessions Judge order that the same is simple in nature.
6. Considering the submissions of the parties as also
the fact that the petitioners have criminal antecedent, in that
background, it would be appropriate that they seek bail.
7. The anticipatory bail application stands rejected.
