2   12-05-2026                  Heard the parties.

                                 2. Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with

                   Imamganj P.S. Case No. 111 of 2018 registered for the offences

                   punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324, 307, 504, 379 read

                   with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

                                3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the

                   present case due to village rivalry and petty dispute between the

                   parties, who are next-door neighbours and pattidars. It is

                   submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are general

                   and omnibus in nature and no specific overt act has been

                   attributed to him. Learned counsel further submits that the FIR

                   does not disclose as to what weapon was carried by the

                   petitioner and even according to the prosecution story, only one

          injured namely Karu Yadav sustained grievous injury, but the

          author of the said injury has not been specified. It is also

          submitted that co-accused Navin Kumar, against whom there is

          graver allegation under Section 379 of IPC, has already been

          granted bail by the learned court below. Learned counsel further

          submits that the case is of the year 2018 and no process under

          Sections 82/83 of Cr.P.C. was ever issued against the petitioner.

          It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has no criminal

          antecedent and he is in custody since 23.02.2026.

                       4. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer

          for bail of the petitioner.

                       5. In the facts and circumstances of this case, and

          considering the statements made in the petition as well as the

          above submissions and mainly coupled with the fact that the

          petitioner is said to be 79 years old person and in the FIR, no

          specific allegation has been levelled against the petitioner and

          one co-accused namely, Navin Kumar carrying almost similar

          nature of allegation has been granted bail by the trial court itself

          and also taking into account the fair and clean antecedent of the

          petitioner as well as his custody period, this Court is inclined to

          grant the relief of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, let the

          petitioner named-above be released on bail on furnishing bail

                     sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the

                     concerned Court in connection with Imamganj P.S. Case No.
