Considering the fact that the incident in question dates back

interim anticipatory bail by this Court as long back as on

18.10.2024, we are inclined to grant him relief.

Accordingly, the appeal is allowed directing that in the

event the appellant, Mahajan Jha, is arrested in relation to

First Information Report No. 173/2023 dated 01.08.2023,

registered with Police Station – Kishanpur, District – Supaul,

Bihar, for the offence(s) punishable under Sections 147, 148,

In addition, the appellant shall comply with the

conditions mentioned in Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya

Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

Recording the aforesaid, the impugned order is set aside

and the appeal is allowed.
