Although the petitioner is named in the FIR but there is no specific allegation of assault or overt act against him, rather a specific allegation of assault is against co-accused person, namely, Deepak Ram, Nandu Ram and Ranjit. On these grounds, the petitioner seeks to be released on pre-arrest bail.

Having considered the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, the fact that there is no specific allegation against the petitioner and the petitioner has clean antecedent and there is case and counter case, I am of the opinion that petitioner has, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.
