ORAL ORDER

Heard Mr. Pankaj Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for
the petitioner and the learned APP for the State.
2. This application for grant of anticipatory bail arises
out of Jamui Police Station Case No. 585 of 2020 dated
29.12.2020, disclosing the offence under Sections 147, 148,
149, 341, 323, 324, 354, 307, 447, 504, 506 and 302 of the IPC
lodged by the informant, Sarojni Devi.
3. As per the prosecution case, the informant alleged
that while she along with her husband were sitting on their door,
all of a sudden, all the FIR named accused persons including
this petitioner having variously armed, came and started
assaulting her husband, Govardhan Mandal by means of Lathi,
Danda and Garasa due to which, her husband fell down and
became unconscious. When she intervened to rescue her

husband, she was disrobed by the petitioner and one Samresh
Kumar. They also trespassed her house and took away Rs.
5000/-. This led to the present FIR.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR
and he has falsely been implicated in this case due to land
dispute as the parties are agnates. Learned counsel for the
petitioner by referring to the contents of the FIR submits that the
allegation against this petitioner is that he along with one
Samresh Kumar, tried to disrobe the informant while Samresh
Kumar has already been granted the privilege of bail by the
Juvenile Justice Board. It has next been submitted that one of
the co-accused, Jaso Devi, who is mother of the petitioner has
already been granted anticipatory bail by the Co-ordinate Bench
of this Court, vide Cr. Misc. No. 48650 of 2021 on 24.03.2022.
Lastly, it has been submitted that the petitioner has got clean
antecedent and there is general and omnibus allegation against
this petitioner.
5. On the other hand, learned APP vehemently opposed
the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner by submitting
that the petitioner tried to disrobe the informant.
6. Considering the fact that nothing specific has been

alleged against the petitioner, the parties are agnates, mother of
the petitioner, who is also a co-accused in the same case has
been granted privilege of anticipatory bail by the co-ordinate
Bench of this Court, one another co-accused, namely Samresh
Kumar, having similar allegation as that of the petitioner, has
been granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board, the petitioner
has got no criminal antecedent, this Court is inclined to grant
the petitioner the privilege of anticipatory bail.
7. This application for anticipatory bail is,
accordingly, allowed.
8. Let the petitioner, named above, in the event of
his arrest or surrender before the Court below within six weeks
from today, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.
10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount
each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, JAMUI,
in connection with aforesaid Police Station Case subject to the
condition as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the B.N.S.S.
2023, as well as the following conditions:-
(i) one of the bailors should
be the family member/relative of the
petitioner(s) who shall provide official
document to show his/her bona fide;
(ii) the petitioner(s) shall
appear on each and every date before
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.14254 of 2026(2) dt.26-02-2026
4/4the Trial Court and failure to do so for
two consecutive dates without
plausible reason will entail
cancellation of his bail bond by the
Trial Court itself;
(iii) the petitioner(s) 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

(iv) the petitioner(s) shall
desist from committing any criminal
offence again, failing which the State
