4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the present case. Petitioners were protesting in view of the blockage of road at the behest of local police, who were facilitating illegal mining of sand in the area as would appear from the FIR that they had allowed all the tractors to flee away from the place of illegal mining along with the illegal loaded sand instead of freezing them. On these grounds, petitioners seek to be released on pre-arrest bail.
5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners.
6. Considering the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, the nature of allegation made in the FIR, 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/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Daudnagar, Aurangabad, in connection with Daudnagar P.S. Case No. 343 of 2025, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.
