For Respondent(s) Mr. Anshul Narayan, Addl. Standing Counsel, Adv.

Mrs. Vineeta Singh, Adv. Mr. Anshuman Harsh, Adv.

Mr. Prem Prakash, AOR UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

We have heard the learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the respondents.

We have also perused the records.

Despite notice served, none appears for the contesting respondent(s).

Learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that a threat was extended by the private respondent to the petitioner even very recently. The Trial Court has also ordered further investigation. It is a case of gruesome murder. The petitioner’s son has been shot dead at point blank range.

Though the allegations are quite serious, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned order(s) only for the reason that the bail was granted to the private respondents as early as on 13.11.2024 and

20.11.2024.

However, in view of the prevailing situation and the fact that the safety of the petitioner and her family is in question, particularly, when threats have been exerted against them by the private respondent in SLP(Crl) No.8371/2025, we direct that the private respondent in SLP(Crl) No.8371/2025 shall not reside in or enter in the village Maqsoodpur, District-Patna, till the conclusion of the trial. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner to seek cancellation of bail in the future in the event of a threat at the instance of the private respondent in SLP(Crl) No. 8371/2025.

The Special Leave Petitions stand disposed of, accordingly.

Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
