¶23

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence and have been falsely implicated in this case due to old enmity. No such occurrence, as alleged in the F.I.R., ever took place. As a matter of fact, both parties are co-villagers and there is admitted dispute between them, for which, petitioners have lodged two cases against informant side i.e. Complaint Case No. 931 of 2023 and Siwan Muffasil P.S. Case No. 571 of 2018 and only with a view to save their skin from those cases, the present false case has been lodged. Learned counsel further submits that as per complaint petition, said occurrence had occurred on 04.08.2023, but complaint case was lodged on 02.09.2023 i.e. after about one month and there is no plausible explanation of delay. Petitioners claim clean antecedent.

¶24

Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

¶25

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, let the above named petitioners, in the event of their arrest/surrender within a period of eight weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Exclusive Court of POCSO, Siwan /
