                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN KUMAR JHA
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   03-04-2026                     Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                   2.    In   the   present    case,    the    petitioner     is

                   apprehending his arrest in connection with G.B. Nagar P.S. Case

                   No. 457 of 2025, registered for the offences punishable under

                   Sections 126(2), 115(2), 303(2), 109, 351(2) and 352 read with

                   Section 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023.

                                   3. As per prosecution case, petitioner and other co-

                   accused persons surrounded the informant, chowkidar of the

                   Police Station and assaulted him for passing information of the

                   assailants to the Police. The allegation against the petitioner is

                   that he gave knife blow on the head of the informant who fell

                   down.

                                   4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                                            2/3




          the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this

          case. The allegation is not believable in the background of

          injury report which shows lacerated wound on left occipital

          region of skull of size 1” x 1/3” x Skin deep, apart from

          tenderness on left chest and tenderness on left scapula, so the

          injury report shows no knife injury has been caused as alleged

          in the FIR. The nature of injury shows injuries to be simple and

          superficial. Other allegations are general and omnibus. The

          petitioner is having antecedent of one case in which he is on

          bail.

                          5. Learned APP opposes the submissions made on

          behalf of the petitioner.

                          6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and

          submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the

          absence of injury attributed to the petitioner and also

          considering the possibility of false accusation, let the petitioner

          above-named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the

          Court concerned within a period of eight weeks from today, be

          released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/-

          (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like

          amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief

          Judicial Magistrate-IV, Siwan, in connection with G.B. Nagar

                    P.S. Case No. 457 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid

                    down under Section 482(2) of the B.N.S.S. and other following

                    conditions:

                                    (i) One of the bailors will be a close relative of the

                    petitioner.

                                    (ii) The petitioner will remain present on each and

                    every date fixed by the Court below, if so required by the

                    learned trial Court.


                                                                 (Arun Kumar Jha, J)
