Anticipatory bail was denied to the petitioners.
Summary
The petitioners, Jumedin and Firaj, sought anticipatory bail in a criminal case (Narpatganj PS Case No. 375 of 2025) where they were alleged to have violently assaulted an informant and her family using weapons, causing grievous injuries. They claimed innocence, alleging the charges were fabricated due to a land dispute. The State opposed the bail application. The court examined the seriousness of the alleged assault, noting direct allegations of grievous hurt to vital parts of the victims' bodies.
