4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the present case due to land dispute. The entire family members including the female members have been made accused in the present case. There is general and omnibus allegation against the petitioners. There is case and counter case between the parties. Petitioners no. 1 and 3 have clean antecedent, whereas petitioner no.2 has one criminal antecedent and the same has been lodged on behalf of the informant's side.
5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.
6. Having heard the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well, having perused the allegation made in the FIR and also the fact that there is case and counter case between the parties, arising out land dispute, I am of the opinion that petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.
7. The petitioners, above named, are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-

Case No. 322/2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.
8. The learned District Court is directed to verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners and if it is found that the petitioners are involved in some other cases, as what has been stated in paragraph no.3 of the bail application, this order will automatically lose its force.
9. However, considering the nature of allegation, in order to buy peace of mind, the parties may proceed to settle the dispute amicably outside the Court.
