                                       ORAL ORDER

2   28-01-2026                  Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned

                   counsel for the informant and learned A.P.P for the State.

                                2. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered

                   for the offence punishable under section 109, 3(5) of the BNS

                   and section 27 of the Arms Act.

                                3. As per the prosecution case, during the cricket

                   match, when the winning team was being awarded by the Guest

                   Anjani Singh, some unknown criminals opened indiscriminate

                   firing at Anjani Singh due to which three persons Anjani Singh

                   husband of Mukhiya, Kumari Rajani, Dharmendra Kumar and

                   Vishwajeet Kumar were injured. After committing crime all the

                   assailants fled away from the place of occurrence on

          one Motorcycle were recovered on the spot. Hence the

          informant has registered the present case against unknown.

                        4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the

          present case. The petitioner is not named in the FIR and his

          name has been surfaced on the basis of confessional statement

          of another accused which carries no evidentary value. There is

          no specific allegation against the petitioner. It is further

          submitted that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as

          disclosed in Paragraph-3 of the application.

                        5. Learned A.P.P for the State and learned counsel for

          the informant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the

          petitioner.

                        6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances

          of the case and also taking note of the fact that petitioner is not

          named in the FIR, I am inclined to grant privilege of

          anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

                        7. Let the petitioner, as named above, in the event of

          his arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, be

          enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-

          ( Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount

          each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate-
