1. Leave granted.

2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the appellant

and the learned counsel appearing for the respondent-

State.

3. The counter affidavit filed by the respondent, is

also taken on record.

4. The present appeal arises out of the impugned order

dated 20.05.2024, passed by the High Court, whereby the

High Court has rejected the prayer of the appellant for

regular bail in connection with an FIR registered at

Police Station-Bajpatti, District-Sitamarhi for the

offences punishable under Sections

341,323,324,307,379,504 and 506/34 of the Indian Penal

parties, and a cross FIR has also been lodged on behalf

of the accused persons. We have been further informed

that the discharge application has been dismissed and the

trial is yet to begin. It is also informed that the

injured person has also been discharged.

6. Considering the above submissions, we are inclined

to set aside the impugned order.

7. Accordingly, the impugned order passed by the High

Court is set aside, and it is directed that the appellant

be released on bail, subject to such terms and conditions

that may be imposed by the Trial Court. We make it clear

that the appellant shall co-operate with the conduct of

the trial.

8. The appeal is, accordingly, allowed,

9. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand

disposed of.
