                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIV ROY
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   17-06-2026                          Heard Mr. Gautam, learned counsel for the

                   petitioners and learned APP representing the State.

                                 2. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in

                   connection with Harnaut P.S. Case No. 191 of 2026 registered

                   for the offence under Sections 329(3), 329(4), 126(2), 127(2),

                   115(2), 118(2), 117(2), 109, 303(2), 352 and 3(5) of the B.N.S.,

                   lodged on 17.04.2026 by the informant, Bhavishan Kumar.

                                 3. As per the prosecution story, the informant alleged

                   that while at home, all the accused persons armed variously

                   came and after abuse, assaulted. While Chandan Kumar

          assaulted Renu Devi on his hand, Anil Paswan gave blow on the

          head causing injury, Nilam Devi assaulted Renu Devi and when

          Raushni Devi came to rescue, she was also assaulted by the

          accused persons.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that Anil

          Paswan is not before this Court, others though have assaulted,

          the injuries have been found to be simple in nature. Both the

          parties are agnates and an exaggerated F.I.R. is there. Last

          submission is that without accepting the allegation or outcome

          of the present petition, the petitioners intend to pay Rs.5,000/- to

          the informant towards treatment by Demand Draft issued by the

          local branch of the State Bank of India/any Nationalized Bank

          to be submitted at the time of execution of bail bond.

                       5. Learned APP opposes the prayer submitting that

          allegation of assault at best is on Chandan Kumar.

                       6. Considering the submissions aforesaid as also that

          the petitioners do not have criminal antecedent, are young, one

          of them is a lady, injuries have been found to be simple in

          nature, in that background, this Court is inclined to extend them

          the privilege of anticipatory bail subject to payment of

          Rs.5,000/-       to the informant as undertaken by the learned

          counsel for the petitioners through Demand Draft issued by the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.38784 of 2026(2) dt.17-06-2026

          local branch of the State Bank of India/any Nationalized Bank

          to be submitted at the time of execution of the bail bond and

          after checking credentials to be handed over to the informant.

                       7. Let the petitioners be released on bail in the event

          of arrest or surrender within a period of four weeks from the

          receipt of this order, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-

          (Ten thousand) each with two sureties of like amount each to the

          satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-I,

          Biharsharif, Nalanda, in connection with Harnaut P.S. Case No.

          191 of 2026 subject to the following conditions:-

                       (i) one of the bailor should be the family

          member/relative of the petitioners who shall provide official

                       (ii) the petitioners shall be appearing before the Police

          Station as and when required for cooperating in the

          investigation;

                       (iii) the petitioners shall appear on each and every

          date before the Trial Court and failure to do so for two

          consecutive       dates     without      plausible   reason   will   entail

          cancellation of his/her bail bond by the Trial Court itself;

                       (iv) the petitioners shall in no way try to induce or

                      promise or threat the witnesses or tamper with the evidences,

                      failing which the State shall be at liberty to take steps for

                      cancellation of the bail bonds;

                                   (v) the petitioners shall desist from committing any

                      criminal offence again, failing which the State shall be at liberty

                      to take steps for cancellation of bail bonds.

                                   8. Before parting, this Court would like to put on

                      record its word of appreciation for Mr. Gautam, learned counsel

                      for the petitioner for the proper assistance rendered in the

                      matter.
