          call and going to her house then Rehana Khatoon. Dhudhali

          Mahto, Mukesh Kumar, Mira Devi started assaulting the

          informant with lathi and danda. On halla, informant's husband

                        4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence. She

          further submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in

          the present case due to previous enmity. The petitioner has no

          concern with the alleged occurrence or with the other accused

          persons. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

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

          gave a call to the co-accused person to assault the informant.

          The petitioner is a lady with three minor children and having no

          criminal antecedent. Considering all these aspects of the matter,

          this Court is inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the

          petitioner.

                    Ara in connection with Tiyar P.S. Case No. 07 of 2026, subject

                    to the conditions laid down under section 482(2) of the

                    Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and subject to the

                    further condition that:-

                                 (i)    the     petitioner      shall    co-operate   in   the

                    investigation/trial.

                                 (ii) the learned Court would, however, verify the

                    criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case it is found that

                    the petitioner has concealed his criminal antecedent, the Court

                    below shall take step for cancellation of bail bond of the

                    petitioner. However, it is expected that the verification process

                    would be done expeditiously without causing any delay.
