In retaliation, the present F.I.R. has been lodged with frivolous allegations. Learned counsel further submits that petitioner no. 1 has no criminal antecedent, whereas petitioner nos. 2 and 3 are accused in one other criminal case.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
6. Considering the fact that the order rejecting the anticipatory bail of the petitioners by the learned Trial Court reflects that the injuries are simple in nature, caused by a hard and blunt substance, and are present over the body,, let the above-named petitioners be released on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Trial Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of 30,000/- ₹ (Rupees Thirty Thousand only) each, as mentioned in Section 2(1)(d) of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, to the

However, the acceptance of bail bonds in terms of the above-mentioned order shall not be delayed for purpose of or in the name of verification.
