                                       ORAL ORDER

2   01-06-2026                  Heard learned Advocate for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State through virtual mode.

                                2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection

                   with Bodhgaya P.S. Case No.857 of 2025 registered for the

                   offences punishable under Sections 190, 191(3), 115(2), 126(2),

                   121(1), 121(2) 132, 109 and 352 of the BNS.

                                3. The prosecution case, in brief, is that on the alleged

                   date and time of occurrence, while the informant along with

                   other police personnel went to conduct a raid and apprehended

                   co-accused Lalu Manjhi, in the meanwhile, the villagers, by

                   making an unlawful assembly including this petitioner, created a

                   ruckus and started assaulting the police personnel by means of

                   lathi, danda, and bricks, and succeeded in fleeing away with the

                   apprehended accused person.

                       4. The learned Advocate for the petitioner submitted

          that, save and except the petitioner is said to be a member of the

          mob, there is no specific allegation of any overt act. It is co-

          accused Jitendra Manjhi and Bhutiya Manjhi against whom

          there is a specific allegation of causing assault over the police

          personnel. The petitioner has no concern with the alleged

          occurrence; only on account of he being the local resident, his

          name has been implicated in this case. The petitioner bears fair

          antecedent and he undertakes that he will fully cooperate in the

          investigation and the proceedings of the Court.

                       5. On the other hand, the learned Advocate for the

          State vehemently opposed the bail application and submitted

          that the petitioners have deterred the police officials from

          discharging their official duty and actively participated in

          rescuing the apprehended co-accused from police custody.

                       6. Having considered the submissions advanced by

          the learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note

          of the omnibus nature of allegation against the petitioner,

          coupled with his fair antecedent, let the above named petitioner,

          be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before

          the learned Court below within a period of four weeks from

          today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand)
