It is further alleged that petitioners also torn the cloth of informant's daughter and made her naked and thereafter, they also took away cash and ornaments from the informant's house.

It is submitted on behalf of petitioners that petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this case due to village politics. It is further submitted that there is case and counter case between the parties and the case filed by petitioner no. 2 (Abdul Wahid) i.e. Jokihat P.S. Case No. 260/2019 is prior to the present case.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the bail application is allowed.

In the event of arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from today, let the above-named six petitioners be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the
