                   with Vaishali P.S. Case No. 543 of 2025 lodged on 26.07.2025,

                   for the offence punishable under Section 191(2), 126(2), 115(2),

                   109, 352, 351(2) & 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita,

          Rs.70,000/- and Rs. 40,000/- cash from the informant. The

          accused persons also threatened the informant not to file a case.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Counsel

          submits that the informant and the petitioner, both are resident

          of the same village and well known to each other. Counsel has

          taken defence that the petitioner has a banquet hall in Vaishali

          market and the informant wanted to book the said hall for his

          relative for free of cost. But for that, the petitioner was not ready

          and thereafter, the informant hatched a conspiracy against the

          petitioner and filed a criminal case against him. He further

          submits that the criminal antecedent of the petitioner is not clean

          as there is one case pending against him, in which, he is on bail.

          He also submits that on previous occasion, case diary and injury

          report were called for, and as per the injury report, it is clear that

          all injuries are simple in nature, caused by hard and blunt

          substance. Counsel submits that the petitioner is ready to fulfill

          all the conditions whatsoever shall be imposed upon him.

                       5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for

          bail of the petitioner but submits that in the case diary, it has

          come that the dispute taken place between the informant and the

          petitioner is only due to money lending.
