                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH
                                       ORAL ORDER

4   07-05-2026                   Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State.

                                2. Petitioner apprehends arrest in a case registered for

                   the offences punishable under Sections 103(1), 61(2) of the

                   Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

                                3. Prosecution case, in brief, is that on 05.10.2025

                   informant received information from his co-villager, namely,

                   Kamlesh Jha that son of the informant is lying near his house

                   and upon such, information when informant reached at the spot,

                   he found his son lying dead. Informant suspects that all the

                   F.I.R. named accused persons, in a conspiracy, killed his son

                   with a view to grab the money. It is further alleged that co-

                   accused Akhilesh Mishra compelled his son to execute sale

                   deed, without any consideration amount, and this petitioner was

                                            2/3




          witness in differed sale deeds executed by the son of informant.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

          petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Informant

          is not an eye witness to the occurrence and petitioner has been

          made accused in this case only on suspicion. From bare perusal

          of the F.I.R. it is apparent that relationship between informant

          and his son was not cordial as the deceased was selling his land

          to different persons and was not giving any money to the

          informant. Petitioner has been made accused in this case

          merely because he is co-villager and witness in some of the sale

          deeds. Save and except suspicion, there is no other material

          available on record to substantiate the allegation levelled against

          petitioner. As a matter of fact, deceased died due to over-

          consumption of liquor and as per post-mortem report, no

          external or internal injury was found on the person of deceased.

          Petitioner claims clean antecedent.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposed

          the bail application.

                       6. Considering backdrop of the case, nature of

          accusation and clean antecedent, this anticipatory bail is allowed

          and it is ordered that let the above named petitioner in the event

          of his arrest/surrender before the court below within a period of

                        bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like

                        amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate,

                        1st Class, Darbhanga in connection with Bishanpur P. S. Case

                        No. 130 of 2025, subject to condition as laid down under

                        Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,

                        2023.
