Petitioners in Cr. Misc. No. 7996 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 10048 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 11919 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 11996 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 12316 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 10276 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 10408 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 10952 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 10343 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 10580 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 11188 of 2015, petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 11493 of 2015 and petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 11533 of 2015 come under the category of those accused persons who are said to be member of mob and there is only allegation of indiscriminate firings against them but according to prosecution case itself, none of the persons sustained any injury at the hands of aforesaid petitioners.

Petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 13524 of 2015 is said to have caused firearm injury to injured, Sanjay Yadav, petitioner in Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.7996 of 2015 (4) dt.07-05-2015 8 Cr. Misc. No. 16807 of 2015 is said to have caused firearm injury to injured, Dhanraj Yadav whereas petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 12230 of 2015 is said to have caused firearm injury to cow of one Shri Niwas Yadav as a result thereof, the above stated cow died then and there.

The statement of injured, Sanjay Yadav has been recorded by the investigating officer at para 58 of the case diary and the aforesaid injured witness stated that petitioner, Shashi Shankar Mishra opened fire on him as a result thereof, he sustained injury on his right elbow. The injury report of injured Sanjay Yadav is not on the case diary though it has been submitted on behalf of the informant that the injured Sanjay Yadav was referred to P.M.C.H. for better treatment but learned counsel appearing for the informant could not produce any injury report of injured, Sanjay Yadav.

The statement of injured, Dhanraj Yadav has been incorporated by the investigating officer at para 74 of the case diary. This witness stated before the investigating officer that petitioner, Mukesh Mishra shot fire causing injury on his leg. The injury report of injured Dhanraj Yadav reveals that one abrasion was found near his right knee and besides the aforesaid abrasion, there was only complain of pain. The doctor found the injuries of Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.7996 of 2015 (4) dt.07-05-2015 9 Dhanraj Yadav simple in nature said to be caused by hard and blunt substance.

The statement of Shri Niwas Yadav has not been recorded by the investigating officer. It appears that inquest report of cow has not been prepared. Moreover, para 2 of the case diary reveals that altogether ten empty including live cartridges were recovered from the place of occurrence.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, Shashi Shankar Mishra submits that one co-accused, namely, Rupesh Mishra, against whom there is allegation of causing firearm injury to injured Mantu Yadav, has already been granted privilege of bail by the learned court below itself on the ground of alibi and the case of the petitioners, Shashi Shankar Mishra, Mukesh Mishra and Abhishek Mishra are almost on similar footing and so far as the rest petitioners are concerned, there is no specific allegation of any overt-act and their case stands on better footing to the case of co-accused, Rupesh Mishra.

On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the informant vehemently opposed the prayer submitting that two persons died and several persons sustained firearm injuries in the alleged occurrence and the manner in which the petitioners and other accused committed the alleged crime clearly demonstrates Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.7996 of 2015 (4) dt.07-05-2015 10 this fact that all the accused persons including the petitioners committed the alleged crime in a pre-planned manner and, therefore, petitioners do not deserve the privilege of bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as submissions of the parties and also taking note of this fact that one co-accused, namely, Rupesh Mishra, having more or less similar allegation, has already been granted privilege of bail by the learned court below, let all the above named petitioners be released 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar in connection with Brahampur P.S. Case No. 287 of 2014.
