and thereafter, the second part happened in which it was alleged
that the prosecution party went to the house of accused to make
a complain and then as per the allegation, all the accused
persons including the petitioner allegedly abused them and also
committed scuffling with them and in the meantime, one of the
co-accused namely Rajesh Kumar Yadav brought a pistol and
opened the same at the prosecution party, causing firearm injury
to the informant’s son namely, Lalit Kumar Yadav @ Laltu
Yadav but in that occurrence of firing, there was no role of the
petitioner and the occurrence of firing is not said to have been
committed in a planned manner by all the accused persons
including the petitioner and the same is clearly evident as
having happened in the spur of the moment. It is further
submitted that co-accused Rajendra Yadav carrying similar
nature of allegation has been granted the relief of anticipatory
bail by the co-ordinate bench of this court vide order dated
18.01.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 68740 of 2024. It is lastly
submitted that the petitioner has fair and clean antecedent.
4. Though, learned APP appearing for the State has
opposed the bail prayer but fairly accepts that in the FIR, there
is no specific allegation against this petitioner and the main
allegation of firing is against the co-accused namely Rajesh

Kumar Yadav.
5. In the facts and circumstances of this case as well
as considering the above submissions advanced by petitioner’s
counsel and mainly coupled with the nature of allegation
appearing against the petitioner, this court is inclined to grant
the relief of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, let
the petitioner named-above, in the event of his arrest/surrender
before the learned court below within a period of six weeks
from today, be released on anticipatory bail in connection with
