                                       ORAL ORDER

2   05-01-2026                  1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2),

                   115(2), 109(1), 352, 351(2) and 3(5) of the BNS, 2023 read with

                   Section 27 of the Arms Act.

                                3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

                   petitioners are persons with clean antecedent and the informant

                   alleges that he along with his brother Ranjit were cleaning their

          land when Jai Prakash, Aman and Varun came and objected, on

          which the informant said that the land is his purchased land,

          thereafter all the three accused assaulted him by lathi, danda

          and rod causing injury on head and also assaulted his brother

          brutally causing injury below his neck, further Sandip, Pradeep

          and Anant fired several rounds when police came and two

          empty cartridges were recovered, further their relative Amit is a

          criminal.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

          petitioners have been falsely implicated in the instant case by

          the informant on account of dispute relating to land. It is next

          submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the

          FIR, it would manifest that the occurrence took place when the

          side of the petitioners objected cleaning of the land by the

          informant and his side. It is further submitted that the land

          belonged to the side of the petitioners which the side of the

          informant was trying to capture and usurp, accordingly, an

          altercation took place in which both sides assaulted each other.

          It is also submitted that no doubt one of the injuries suffered by

          the informant has been opined to be grievous, but then

          allegation of assault is not specific and allegation of firing is

          ornamental, as no one was injured in the firing. It is also

                                            3/4




          submitted that even cartridges were provided from the side of

          the informant. It is reiterated and submitted that on account of

          dispute relating to land, an altercation had taken place in which

          both sides assaulted each other and from side of the petitioners

          also one person received eight injuries, as would manifest from

          Annexure-3 series to the anticipatory bail application. It is also

          submitted that petitioners are not criminals. It is next submitted

          that petitioners will not abscond rather will cooperate in the

          investigation to prove their innocence.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioners.

                       6. Considering the submissions made by the learned

          counsel for the petitioners, the petitioners above-named, in the

          event of their arrest or surrender before the learned trial court

          within a period of six weeks from today, be released on

          anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/-

          (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the

          like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court

          where the case is pending/successor court in connection with

          Rasulpur P.S. Case No. 66 of 2025 subject to the conditions as

          laid down under Section 482 (2) of the BNSS.

                       7. However, it is made clear that in the event if the

                      Investigating Officer of the case files an application before the

                      learned Trial Court bringing to its notice that petitioners despite

                      giving assurance to this Court are not co-operating in the

                      investigation, in that event the learned Trial Court shall be at

                      liberty to cancel the bail bonds of the petitioners.

                                   8. Let a copy of this order be sent to the concerned

                      police station through the learned Trial Court.

                                   9. Accordingly,         the    instant   anticipatory   bail

                      application stands allowed.
