tangi blow on the head of informant’s husband causing head injury.

¶17

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have falsely been implicated in the present case. He further submits that there is specific allegation against petitioner no. 1 that he has assaulted to the husband of the informant and although the informant’s husband has received the injury, but the injury report of the informant’s husband suggests that injury is simple in nature.

¶18

The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State on the other hand has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioners and submits that petitioner nos. 1 and 2 have clean antecedent, but petitioner no. 3 carries two criminal antecedents other than the present one, however, he fairly admits that petitioner no. 3 is on bail in the pending matters.

¶19

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances and the fact that petitioner nos. 1 and 2 have clean antecedents and injury inflicted upon the informant's husband is found to be simple in nature, let the petitioners, above-named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the trial Court, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the order, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate-1^st Class, Jamui,
