                                       ORAL ORDER

3   01-04-2026                   Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                2. The present petition has been filed on behalf of the

                   petitioner, apprehending his arrest, in connection with

                   Suryapura P.S. Case No.128 of 2025, dated-24.04.2025,

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

                   115(2), 118(1), 333, 303(2), 308(2), 352, 351(2) and 3(5) of the

                   BNS, 2023.

                                3. As per allegation, the Petitioner along with other

                   co-accused came to the house of the Informant and without any

                   reason, they started abusing the Informant and when the

                   Informant came out of his house, he was assaulted

                   indiscriminately by the Petitioner and thereafter, he assaulted

          the Informant even by knife taking out from his pocket, causing

          grievous injury to the Informant. As per further allegation, the

          Petitioner entered the house of the Informant with dabang

          villagers and assaulted the family members of the informant,

          throwing the household items and utensils. Even air firing was

          done by the Petitioner and he went away abusing the Informant

          and taking away some gold ornaments. Thereafter, the

          Informant was taken to local primary health center. It is further

          stated in the FIR that this occurrence               had taken place on

          account of the fact that the Petitioner is husband of local

          Mukhiya and he was doing financial irregularity in the work of

          construction of local nala and hence, the Informant had given

          complaint against this act of the Petitioner. Thereafter, the

          Petitioner was putting pressure upon the Informant to take back

          the complaint against him, and when he did not oblige him, he

          was assaulted by the Petitioner.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          Petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this

          case. He further submits that as per the injury report, the alleged

          injury caused by the Petitioner is simple in nature and this case

          is politically motivated because the Petitioner happens to be the

          husband of local mukhiya. He also submits that this case has

                                            3/4




          been filed by the Informant as a counterblast to the criminal

          case filed by the colleague of the Petitioner.

                       5. It is also stated in paragraph no. 2 of the bail

          petition that the petitioner has not moved this Court earlier

          either for anticipatory bail or regular one in the instant case.

                       6. It has further been stated in paragraph no.3 of the

          petition that the petitioner has been made accused in ten other

          case.

                       7. However, learned counsel for the Informant and

          learned APP for the State vehemently oppose the prayer of the

          Petitioner for bail submitting that it is classic case of local

          dabangai and misuse of political and muscle power by the

          Petitioner against the common people of the village, who were

          opposing the corruption in construction of local nala. They also

          submit that the Petitioner is influencing the investigation of the

          case because he is politically dominant and the local thana is

          under his influence and if he is enlarged on anticipatory bail, it

          will not only discourage the honest citizen of the village to take

          step against corruption being done in development work in the

          village but even it will encourage dabangai of the Petitioner.

                       8. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances,

          I am not persuaded to enlarge the Petitioner on bail.

                                   9. The present petition is rejected, Accordingly.
