3   06-05-2026         1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned

                            Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

                       2.   This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out

                            of Mahila Police Station Case No. 86 of 2025, dated

                            03.11.2025,        disclosing         offences       under       Sections

                            126(2)/115(2)/69/318(4)/351(2)/352/3(5) of the Bhartiya

                            Nyaya Sanhita.

                       3.   The prosecution case, in brief, is that informant, namely

                            Savita Kumari, alleged that she met with the co-accused

                            Ankaj Kumar at Vaishali Gadh on 19.06.2018 and since

                            then both had been talking with each other and on the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8907 of 2026(3) dt.06-05-2026
                                            2/3




                  pretext of getting marriage co-accused Ankaj Kumar

                  made physical relation with the informant multiple times

                  and also gave assurance that after solemnization of

                  marriage of his elder brother he would perform marriage

                  with her. However, after solemnization of marriage of co-

                  accused Ankaj Kumar’s elder brother, he refused to get

                  marry with informant and when informant went to

                  complain to the petitioners, then the petitioners abused

                  and assaulted her and also threatened her with dire

                  consequences.

              4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

                  petitioner nos. 1, 2 and 3 are mother, father and elder

                  brother, respectively, of co-accused Ankaj Kumar, with

                  whom the informant was in love relationship since 2018.

                  He next submits that no specific allegation has been

                  alleged against the petitioners and the allegations are

                  general and omnibus in nature. He further submits that

                  co-accused Ankaj Kumar has been granted anticipatory

                  bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Cr. Misc. No.

                  18465 of 2026.

              5. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the

                  parties and taking into consideration the fact that the

                                                        3/3




                              petitioners are family members of co-accused Ankaj

                              Kumar with whom the informant had love relationship,

                              the allegations against the petitioners are general and

                              omnibus in nature and co-accused Ankaj Kumar has been

                              granted anticipatory bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this

                              Court, I am inclined to grant the petitioners privilege of

                              anticipatory bail.

                          6. This application is, accordingly, allowed.
