Gaya-------------------------petitioners Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR------------------Opp.party ----------- 2. 24.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional P.P. for the State. The petitioners pray for anticipatory bail in a case under Sections 447,341,323,307 and 379/34 of the IPC. The allegation against the petitioners is that they along with other accused persons went to the house of the informant and started abusing him and demanded rangdari and when the younger brother of the informant intervened in course of the same the petitioner no.1 had assaulted the informant with farsa on his head as a result of which he received injuries above his ear and the petitioner Sunil Singh had assaulted the elder brother of the informant Suman Kumar with lathi as a result of which he received injuries on his left arm and hand. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that prior to the present case the wife of petitioner no.1 had also lodged an FIR against the informant and his men under Sections 376,511,379 and 323/34 of the IPC and in retaliation of that case the present case has been filed. It is further submitted that there is no injury report on the record and the present case has been filed so as to compromise the other case. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court does not consider it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail stands rejected. However, if the petitioners surrender and pray for bail then their case should be considered without being prejudiced by the rejection of prayer for anticipatory bail. (Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.) spal/
