4   08-07-2026                  1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection

                   with Harnaut P.S. Case No.552 of 2025 instituted under Sections

                   137(2) and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and 27 of the Arms Act.

                                3. As per the F.I.R., on the date of occurrence his two

                   relatives Saala and Sadhu, namely, Manjit Kumar and

                   Abhimanyu Kumar respectively along with 6-8 unknown

                   persons forcibly took the informant with them on motorcycle

                   from his house. It is further alleged that near Cheran Khanda,

                   the accused persons along with the petitioner surrounded him

                   and asked about the gold which was looted by his Saala, Sadhu

                   and their gang and to save themselves they named the petitioner.

                   Upon the arrival of police, when the informant tried to run

                                            2/3




          towards the police, the petitioner, namely, Adhir Yadav allegedly

          fired upon him, thereafter all the accused persons fled away

          from the spot.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

          petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this

          case. The allegation against the petitioner is that he has fired

          bullet but no empty cartridge was recovered from the place of

          occurrence. He further submits that as per the F.I.R., the police

          had knowledge of the occurrence on 10.12.2005 but the F.I.R

          was lodged on the next day which creates doubt with respect to

          the prosecution case. There is a family dispute between the

          informant and his in-laws and the petitioner has no concern with

          them. Although the petitioner has four criminal antecedents out

          of which in one case he has been acquitted, and in other three

          cases he is on bail. There is no incriminating material against

          the petitioner. He undetakes to cooperate in the investigation

          and trial of the case.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail.

                       6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the

          case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties, nature of

          allegation, in the event of arrest or surrender before the Court

                        below within six weeks from today, the petitioner be released on

                        bail upon furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten

                        Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount to each to the

                        satisfaction of the learned Court of ACJM 1st , Nalanda, Bihar
