¶18

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this case. No occurrence in the manner as alleged has ever taken place. The petitioners and informant are next door neighbours. Some altercation took place between them over drainage of sewerage water and some scuffle took place. Petitioner no. 2 has lodged Bodhgaya P.S. Case No. 54 of 2025 for the said occurrence wherein petitioner no. 2 has stated that when the informant caught hold of the daughter of petitioner no. 2, the petitioner no. 1 herein, petitioner no. 2 pushed the informant and she fell down. This version is corroborated from the injury report of the informant as the injury report shows only one injury on the head of the informant which is a lacerated wound of size 1" long on mid of skull. However, the injury was stated to be grievous due to hairline fracture. Thus, it is evident that there was no serious injury of the informant and absence of said injury alleged in the FIR to be inflicted by the co-accused persons along with the petitioners falsifies the whole allegation. The petitioners are having clean antecedent. Petitioner no. 1 is a teacher and petitioner no. 2 is housewife, who have been unnecessarily dragged in the present case over some petty issue.

¶20

Learned APP opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioners. Learned APP submits that there is specific allegation against petitioner no. 1 to have assaulted on the head of the informant with rod which has been found to be grievous.

¶21

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the fact that the petitioners are ladies and also considering the case and counter version and further considering the possibility of false implication, let the petitioners above named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the court concerned within a period of eight weeks from today, be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya/concerned court in connection with Bodhgaya P.S.
