                                       ORAL ORDER

2   13-05-2026                  Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned

                   Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

                                  2. This application for anticipatory bail arises out

                   of Jankinagar P.S. Case No. 24 of 2026, registered for the

                   offence punishable under Section 126(2), 115(2), 109, 76,

                   308(3), 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita.

                                  3. As per allegation, petitioner No.1 demanded

                   Rs.50,000.00 as extortion money and had threatened to kill the

                   informant, if he does not accede to his demand. It is alleged that

                   when the informant refused, he called his son Sujeet Kumar,

                   petitioner No.2, who came with a sharp iron rod and struck the

                   informant on his head with an intention to kill, causing serious

          injuries. It has further been alleged that when informant’s wife

          Asha Devi and his sons Prabhakar and Diwakar came to his

          rescue, they were also assaulted by sticks and iron rods. It has

          further been alleged that during the intervening assault, co-

          accused Santosh Kumar Suman took out Rs.5,000.00 from the

          informant’s pocket, while co-accused Sanjay Kumar snatched

          gold chain from the neck of informant’s wife.

                          4. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted

          that the injuries sustained by the informant is simple in nature,

          and the same is specifically attributed to petitioner No.2. It has

          further been submitted that there is case and counter case

          between the parties and a civil litigation is also pending between

          the parties. In the counter case, petitioners’ side has also

          received injuries, which has remained unexplained. It has lastly

          been submitted that though the injuries sustained by the

          informant is grievous, but that is not specifically attributed to

          these petitioners and the petitioners have got no criminal

          antecedents.

                          5. Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer

          of anticipatory bail of the petitioners.

                       6. Heard the parties and perused the record.

                       7. Considering the facts and circumstances, let the

                    of the learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Purnea, in

                    connection with Jankinagar P.S. Case No. 24 of 2026, subject to
