4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have clean antecedents and they have been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that although the petitioners are named in the F.I.R. but from perusal of the F.I.R. it appears that there is no specific allegation of any assault or overt act attributed against these petitioners rather there is specific allegation of assault attributed against co-accused persons namely Md.

He further submits that similarly situated co-accused persons namely Laifun Nisha, Fatma Begum @ Fatma, Rukhsar @ Ruksar Parween, and Zubair @ Zubed Alam have been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail by this Court today i.e. on 20.05.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 20731 of 2025.
5. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners.
