3. The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report, is that on 26.06.2024, when the informant’s father, namely, Gajendra Yadav, was going for some important work, all of a sudden, the petitioners, along with other accused persons, armed with weapons, surrounded and abused him and told him to register the land of his share on their behalf and also demanded a sum of Rs. Two Lakhs as extortion. The petitioner no. 1 gave the orders, upon which co-accused Pramod Yadav and Amrendra Yadav (petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 8343) assaulted the informant with rod. When the uncle of the informant, namely, Jitan Yadav, came on the alarm, the petitioner no. 2, along with co-accused Abhishek Kumar and Saheb Kumar, assaulted him by means of rod on his head and they also snatched a sum of Rs. 2,500/- from the pocket of the informant’s father.

¶27

4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are agnates and co-villagers of the informant and have falsely been implicated in this case due to land dispute between the parties. He next submits that injury

report of the victims i.e. informant’s father and uncle, annexed at P-3 and P-3/1, shows that except injury no. 1 of the informant’s uncle, others injury, sustained by the victims, are simple in nature. Injury no. 1 has been opined as grievous, whereas, upon perusal of the injury no. 1, pain and swelling in the right forearm has been reported which cannot be said to be grievous in nature. He further submits that counter-case has also been lodged by the side of the petitioners, bearing Saur Bazar Police Station Case No. 394 of 2024, dated 29.06.2024, against the informant and others.

¶30

5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the informant vehemently opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that specific allegation against the petitioner no. 1 is that he ordered, upon which, other accused persons i.e. petitioner no. 1 and Amrendra Yadav (petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 8343 of 2025) assaulted the uncle and father of the informant. He next submits that informant’s uncle has sustained grievous injury, as would be evident from the injury no. 1 referred in the injury report.

¶31

6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the materials available on records.

¶32

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7417 of 2025(2) dt.22-03-2025 4/4
