¶21

petitioners along with other co-accused persons, armed with lathi, danda, rod, etc. entered into the house of the informant and co-accused Manoj Singh assaulted by means of bhala to the family member of the informant.

¶22

Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the present occurrence has taken place on a trivial issue of the rate of meat, which was enquired by co-accused Manoj Singh from the informant, who runs a meat shop in the market. He further submits that there is case and counter case between the parties inasmuch as Sahebganj Police Station Case No. 213 of 2020 has been lodged by co-accused Manoj Singh against the informant and others for the offence punishable under Sections 147/148/149/341/342/447/323/307/295-A/188/504 of the Indian Penal Code. He further submits that the allegation of assault is only against co-accused Manoj Singh and there is no allegation of assault against these petitioners, who are family members of co-accused Manoj Singh.

¶23

After having heard learned Counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the materials on record and the fact that there is case and counter case between the parties and there is no specific allegation of assault against these petitioners, I am inclined to grant the petitioners privilege of anticipatory bail.
