Let the defect(s), as pointed out by the office, be

removed within a period of four weeks from today.

¶34

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.P.P. for the State.

¶35

The petitioners seek bail in connection with Sahar P.S. Case No. 77 of 2020 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 307, 302, 120(B) of Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

¶36

As per prosecution case, on 25.05.2020 the informant around 7:00 AM heard firing in his court-yard whereafter he being frightened came out of his home and saw his younger brother Avdhesh Yadav having pistol in his hand who shot dead his son when his son was taking bath on hand pump. When informant’s brother Kamlesh Yadav rushed to snatch rifle from co-accused Avdhesh Yadav then co-accused Avdhesh Yadav also made firing on Kamlesh Yadav. There is specific allegation against petitioners Sajivan Yadav and Dhanji Yadav that they were standing with their motorcycle and they fled away with co-accused Avdhesh Yadav. Informant has received information that co-accused Avdhesh Yadav after the occurrence reached at the house of petitioner Surendra Yadav at

¶38

village Keshavpur from there he ran away to unknown place. Reason behind the occurrence is property dispute. It is further alleged that two days prior to the incident petitioners had come to informant favouring Avadhesh Yadav and told him to leave the home otherwise informant will have to face the consequences.

¶39

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner Dhanji Yadav @ Sankh Yadav is in custody since 18.09.2021 and bears no criminal antecedent. Petitioner Surendra Yadav is in custody since 01.10.2021 and bears no criminal antecedent. Petitioner Sajivan Yadav @ Sajivan Singh @ Sanjivan Yadav is in custody since 18.08.2021 and bears no criminal antecedent. Charge sheet has been submitted in the case and there is no likelihood of tampering the evidence. Learned counsel further submits that as per first information report, the allegation of firing is not against the petitioners. As per FIR, it clearly shows that the genesis of the occurrence is related to previous land dispute in between the co-accused Awadhesh Yadav and informant. It is further stated that petitioners were acting as a well-wisher of both the parties and they wanted to pacify the land dispute but the parties could not settle on their respective terms and conditions. The entire

¶40

¶41

allegation against the petitioners is totally false and based on concoction. The petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case due to dirty village politics and on behest of their enemies.

¶42

The learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioners.

¶43

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, period of custody, keeping in view clean antecedent of petitioners, charge sheet has been submitted in the case and there is no likelihood of tampering the evidence and also taking into consideration the material available on record, let the petitioners above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-VI, Bhojpur at Arrah in connection with Sahar P.S.
