The case is under Sections 395 and 397 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation against petitioner no.1 is that he tried to assault the informant by sugarcane. The allegation against petitioner no.2 is that he was also one of the accused, who was trying to rob the informant. From the first information report itself, it appears that money was snatched from the informant and on raising alarm by the informant, accused persons succeeded in fleeing away and he found his motor-cycle lying at the place of occurrence when he returned there. From Annexures 3 and 4, it appears that some of the accused persons, under similar circumstances, have been granted bail by another Bench of this Court. Petitioners are in custody since 8.10.2008. - 2 - Learned counsel for the petitioners, on oral instruction, submits that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent. He further submits that this case was instituted on account of political rivalry. Considering the fact that similarly situated co-accused have been granted bail by this Court and the case of the petitioners stands on more or less similar footing, the application is allowed. Petitioners, namely, Ravi Kumar @ Ravi Paswan and Sonu Kumar @ Sonu Kumar Paswan, are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya in connection with Belaganj P.S.
