3. Learned Advocate for the petitioners, informed this
Court that submit that during the pendency of the bail
application, petitioner no. 3 got arrested and, as such, he is not
pressing the bail application on his behalf.
4. The petitioner nos. 1 and 2 apprehending their
arrest in connection with Laheriasarai P.S. Case No. 386 of
2022, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341,
323, 447, 307, 379, 504, 354A and 506/34 of the Indian Penal
Code.
5. Allegedly, on the retaliation of the protest made by
the informant against the eve teasing, all the accused persons
armed with weapons came at the informant’s house and started
abusing. It is specifically alleged that co-accused Md. Eqbal
gave an iron rod blow over the temple of the informant whereas
co-accused Md. Chotan Quraishi gave iron rod over his head,
due to which he sustained grievous injury.

6. Learned Advocate for the petitioners contended that
in fact on account of a dispute in between two groups of
Moharram Akhara , the informant sustained injury. But only in
order to wreck vengeance, the name of the entire family has
been implicated in this case. The alleged occurrence took place
on 08.02.2022-09.02.2022, but the present FIR came to be
lodged on 14.08.2022, without there being any explanation.
Moreover, the specific allegation has been levelled against co-
accused Mr. Eqbal and Md. Chotan Quraishi, who are not before
this Court. The petitioners have absolutely fair antecedent and
they undertake before this Court; they will fully co-operate in
the proceeding.
7. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State
opposed the pre-arrest bail application and submits that the
petitioners have actively participated in the crime.
8. Regard being had to the submissions made on
behalf of the parties and considering the fact that grievous injury
sustained to the informant is not attributed to the petitioners,
apart from the delay in lodging of the FIR and their fair
antecedent, let the petitioner nos. 1 and 2 (Md. Chand Quraishi
@ Md. Chand Quaraishi and Md. Raja Quraishi) above named
be released on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender

before the court below within a period of four weeks from the

two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the
learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Darbhanga in connection with
Laheriasarai P.S. Case No. 386 of 2022, subject to the
